Shadow Sonnet with internal rhyme.
The Shadow takes place at the beginning and ending of each line
as the words are identical or homophonic.
14 lines 9 or 10 syllables per line
Should have a volta or pivit .
ambic pentameter is not necessary..
Aurora Lights
See the symphony of light o’er the sea.
Softly the agony resend softly.
Free rising orb setting harmony free.
Brightly absorb with a song so brightly.
Aurora light from morning aurora.
Song of the night is now operas' song.
Flora delight; like blossoms of flora.
Long is the sight with emotions so long.
Rising crescendo with morning rising.
Serene innuendo leaves mind serene.
Surprising opera; light surprising.
Pristine genera of human pristine.
So open your heart let the light sing so.
Know symphony light, and your mind will know.
