A Petrarchan or Italian sonnet comprises two stanzas

an octave and a sestet (eight lines and six lines respectively)

The octave has  a  rhyme scheme of abba abba, while the

sestet is rhymed  cdecde, cdcdcd or cdccdc

A syllable count of 10 for each line is maintained here
though not required

A             Vacation so profound in the South Seas

B             Moon half-hidden over the horizon

B             To forget life’s woes of no consequence

A             And ever so peaceful  for all to see

A             A fishing invite accepted with glee

B             Making out and forgetting life’s problems

B             Will trade with any for such occasions

A             Can one be faulted and this is no plea!

C             It had turned dark a rest sorely needed

D             Slight breeze brushing by in the cool evening

C             Ripples on water’s surface break the quiet

D             Mermaids unseen happily chattering

C             Confidently safe not part of diet

D             Anglers above content with just musings

Tony hosting at d'Verse MTB invites to write a sonnet of either the
Petrarchan, Shakespearean or the lesser known Spenserian.
