The sun is peeking coyly through the trees
A winter’s tale in minor, carved in ice
Crystal brooks act as mirrors for wild geese
Bright sunbeams paint illusionary paradice
Fierce love for capturing scenes by lenses
Vital landscapes preserved in space and time
Frozen sketch of what in real-time dances
Like poetry’s passionate beat and rhyme
Cloud formations unique every minute
Paused to charm the viewer’s artistic mind
Like words endlessly combined sans limit
Eye and camera show the world refined
The photo, a memory from the past, Shows beholders that precious moments last
The Shakespearean or English sonnet was actually developed in the sixteenth century by the Earl of Surrey, but is named after Shakespeare because of his great sonnet sequence (a series of sonnets all exploring the same theme) printed in 1609 . The Shakespearean sonnet has the rhyme scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF GG, forming three quatrains (four lines in a group) and a closing couplet (two rhymed lines). The problem is usually developed in the first three quatrains, each quatrain with a new idea growing out of the previous one. Sometimes the first two quatrains are devoted to the same thought, resembling the octave of the Petrarchan sonnet, and followed by a similar volta. Most strikingly unlike the Petrarchan version, the Shakespearean sonnet is brought to a punchy resolution in the epigrammatic final couplet
