Spenserian Sonnet

The Spenserian sonnet is a sonnet form named for 16th-century English poet Edmund Spenser, who introduced this structure in his 1595 collection of sonnets titled Amoretti.

The Spenserian sonnet is extremely similar to the Shakespearean sonnet. The main difference is the rhyme scheme: whereas the Shakespearean rhyme scheme introduces a new rhyme in each quatrain, the Spenserian sonnet carries over the latter rhyme from the previous quatrain in a chain rhyme: abab bcbc cdcd ee.

Like both the Petrarchan and Shakespearean sonnets, Spenserian sonnets are normally written in iambic pentameter.

Best Girl-friend

Friendships can come with hurt and some tears
But laughter and smiles are the follow through
Lasting for months then it goes into years
You’re never alone, ’cause there’s always two

Relationships fit like a sock and a shoe
together they feel better than they do alone
Two lovely people stuck together like glue
Like a loyal companion, a dog and a bone

When its one of those days you pick up the phone
and hope to hear laughter and love through the line
No sign of anger nor aggression are shown
I’ll be her true friend just like she will be mine.

Nothing can come between a girl and her friend
A relationship that lasts, there’s never an end.
