A Creative Take On A Sonnet

A sonnet is a traditional poetic form of fourteen lines, set in iambic-pentameter. There are many variations of this Italian form. The first sonnets had an octave and a setset. The poem's subject would turn or give a different perspective at in the setset. And also had a rhyming variation. abababab cdecde is one of these.
  
    The Shakesperian version or English model had three quatrains followed by a couplet, and the Spenserian had four tercets followed by a couplet. And the Austrailian version has an enveloping rhyme pattern to it.
Italian Sonnet

     My version of the sonnet (an American model), is quite different and has a unique feel to it. It starts with a couplet followed by a tercet, followed by a quatrain, adding the turn with a following tercet and then reversing the order of the repeated couplet as a sort of refrain. This can create an introspective feel to the whole. I will give a few examples, and you can try this sonnet and post yours below.

In Elder Wood

He watches snow fall through the night and sighs
The cave will hide him from the storm's full-size.

He gathers wood and builds a smoky fire
And dreams inside the flames and green wet wood,
A feeling steals him, prodding crackling choir.

His shelter warms, and holds away the storm
And dreams return of her, a girl in snow
She dances near the winsome elm aglow,
And beckons him out near her tree and form.

He casts a glance to warm his soul's desire
And wanders out, on through the dark and stood
Beside a lithe-pale ginger girl so dire.

The cave will hide him from the storm's full-size
He watches snow fall through the night and sighs.

The Summer of 1985 (In The Murmuring Trees, Xlibris 2012)

In wisps of fog, remember castle grounds
I walked among the ruins on walls and sounds.

Two weeks we camped outside, in pouring rain
Irish boys played in mud, we ran and slid
In Portumna I wish I could remain.

Tallaght, we stayed a couple days and nights
A dance to haunt my life, my heart undid
I left a girl, my love behind, a kid
To dream of dancing with her then, delights.

A song to take away the dreams and pain
She came to me, I pushed away amid
I feel the loss, my faults in broken chain.

I walked among the ruins on walls and sounds
In wisps of fog, remember castle grounds.

Notice the rhyming patterns and how they differ between my two examples.
Now try your hand at my sonnet version and post it below for the enjoyment of all.
