Passion Sonnet


The Passion Sonnet, created by  Victoria Sutton, aka, PassionsPromise,
is composed using the rhyme scheme of the traditional Shakesperian sonnet  but lines 1 and line 3 form the closing couplet and line 4 acts as a refrain line.
Ideally composed in iambic pentameter or decasyllabic lines.

Rhyme Scheme
A1 b A2 B1
b c B1 c
B1 d b d
A1 A2



Example Poem:

Tell Me of Your Anger in Whispers (Passion Sonnet)

Oops Wait! Don't speak out in anger now dear.
I want to be receptive not hostile.
Instead come close and whisper in my ear
for whispers naturally make me smile.

If anger boils now dear, just wait a while
then hold me and whisper andbe amazed.
for whispers naturally make me smile.
All your concerns will quickly be appraised.

for whispers naturally make me smile.
and angry is not how I prefer you.
Just state what you need without any guile.
and it will be yours quite before we're through.

Oops Wait! Don't speak out in anger now dear.
Instead come close and whisper in my ear.

  1. I would remove the ones after the capital B. Since there is no B2, it is unnecessary and creates confusion.
