Kiwi Pause

NOTE:  I have become AWARE that there EXISTED A SONNET FORM named NEW ZEALAND SONNET

Before the creation of the form by the same name by Jose Rizal M. Reyes, which I introduced here.

For clarification, until Jose has time and inclination to

resolve the conflict I'll refer to his as Kiwi Sonnet, a sub-title he did provide.

Renamed here to  Kiwi Pause - Suggested by creator.

New Zealand Sonnet

Marked by its isolation from the two major sonnet sources, the New Zealand sonnet is a hybrid of Italian, English with the French influence of interlocking the quatrains; remembering that although a former English colony a few islands in the Pacific are French speaking.

Here is the rhyme scheme;

a. b. a. b. . . b. b. c. c. . . c. d. c. d. . . e. e.

Here is an example.
