The Sonnet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBC DEDEDE| Poet beware The sonnet's primrose path | A |
| Is all too tempting for thy feet to tread | B |
| Not on this journey shalt thou earn thy bread | B |
| Because the sated reader roars in wrath | A |
| 'Little indeed to say the singer hath | A |
| And little sense in all that he hath said | B |
| Such rhymes are lightly writ but hardly read | B |
| And naught but stubble is his aftermath ' | C |
| - | |
| Then shall he cast that bonny book of thine | D |
| Where the extreme waste paper basket gapes | E |
| There shall thy futile fancies peak and pine | D |
| With other minor poets pallid shapes | E |
| Who come a long way short of the divine | D |
| Tormented souls of imitative apes | E |
