Sense Sonnet - Pumper

In Good Company

The sonnet came from Italy.
It was the offspring of Petrarch,
Who told of love, that would not be,
In rhyming patterns, sad and dark.
Then Shakespeare wrote of his love pains,
In numbered sonnets meant to send
His deep laments in three quatrains,
With a catch couplet at the end.
I use the Bard's rhyming measure
With tetrameter iambics,
To pour out my pain and pleasure
Into the poet bowl to mix.

Each sonnet is my turn for tale -
In fourteen lines to leave a trail.
