This English Sonnet is strictly following the a-b-a-b, c-d-c-d, e-f-e-f, g-g rhyme scheme. I opted for tradition over contemporary (modern) sonnets to stick with the authentic feel of the whole concept.
This is the second part of the two-part poem I wrote.
The story of the Jackal and the Moon.
I am in search, life long, for my purpose.
In this vast space I dread to wait my turn.
I am the Moon lost for heart’s words and prose.
In time, I rise to shine, to glow, to burn.
I see you Jackal Prince, I say in thought,
Immersed in freedom, I cannot abide.
Incandescent I am but futile in cot.
I but cannot speak of my loss, my pride.
I lost that one compass of which you speak.
Immense leap of faith made me leave and find.
I have returned to none but bloody peak.
If prince then yearned, tell me, have I been blind?
Am I to shine, to glow, to burn, too late?
Is “I” can be too much come love and fate?
thanks for the comment ely.
in poetry, it is what you think it is.
