Day 99:

Oct 7-Spenserian Sonnet, abab bcbc cdcd ee. It typically is iambic pentameter

Spenserian type Sonnets are strange breeds

Four phrases work their way into the style.

Iambic Pentameter fill the deeds

To make poetic license with a smile.

Abab to start, still got awhile

Bcbc will move it to the break

Then take the next whole step in rank and file.

The syllables then count for poem’s sake.

Cdcd, you’re almost through, no fake.

Ee then follows, phrasing worth the wait

For Sonnet making, it’s a piece of cake.

Then close it with a couplet, shut the gate!

This special Sonnet is guaranteed true

Now try your luck and see what you can do.
