Poem Title:
Poem
In awe, I welcome Thor with utmost glee. The powerful celestial force set free amongst the hills and over the coarse scree. The winds that whip and slink — the hailstones loudly clink. Flashes segue to link — I quell the urge to blink. My pulse quickens at the rank petrichor. I ignore being drenched, making my soul soar, I turn my face to the rain to taste more. The storm will not abate — it’ll make me very late for meeting that’ll seal fate — my destiny won't wait. Our tempers complimenting to a T, and search for impressive clichés in sync. Remembering that which had gone before, I’m quite blasé about the hot debate. This poem was included in the 11-poem anthology dealing with hailstones, in the online publication Pick Me Up Poetry, March 2022: __________________________________________________ © SUZETTE SONNET—SUZNET for short (9 April 2021) A 14-line sonnet of alternating triplets and couplets, concluding with a quatrain. 1. Rhyme scheme: aaa (b1–b2)(b3–b4) ccc (d1–d2)(d3–d4) abcd 2. The triplets are iambic pentameter [*/|*/|*/|*/|*/]. 3. The rhyming couplets are iambic hexameter and include an internal rhyme, namely [*/|*/|*/—*/|*/|*/] (alexandrines). 4. Concluding with a quatrain in iambic pentameter that summarises the poem in a rhyme scheme set by the triplets and couplets. 5. The volta is at L9. OR the couplets may define pivots within the poem, ie a tilting or shifting in the mainline of thought. When the latter is employed, it needs to be uniform throughout the poem. __________________________________________________ LEXICON ceraunophilia: (n) A fondness (loving) for thunder and lightning and finding them intensely beautiful. The term is derived from the Greek ‘keraunós’, meaning lightning or thunderbolt. On the flip side, ceraunophobia may be defined as a fear of thunder and lightning. scree: (n) a mass of small stones that form a slope on a mountain. segue: (v) 1. (in music and film) move without interruption from one piece of music or scene to another. 2. Move or shift from one state or condition to another. petrichor: (adj) it describes how rain makes the hot ground smell at the first rains.
