बस यूँही…..

Choco, our resident Capo, is aware he is not allowed on beds once the bedcovers are off and the beds are prepared for the night. As a result he utilizes whatever opportunity he gets in the daytime to lay claim to the territory. Dark clouds and considerable rainfall shortened the day yesterday. He seemed lost deep in thoughts. Is the expression not like Rodin’s famous work, which I was fortunate to see at close quarters in the Rodin museum in Philadelphia.

I wanted to create a sonnet to match the classical Spenserian Rhyme scheme ABAB BCBC CDCD EE.
Edmund Spenser created this, the third of the classical sonnet forms.

Lost in thoughts….
.
In deep thoughts lost, I wander far and wide,
Bewildered in a maze of my own mind,
A labyrinth dark, where fears and doubts reside,
Baffling my soul, with thoughts of all kind.
.
By troubled thoughts, I sometimes lose my mind,
Cares and anxieties my soul caress,
By darkest doubts, my spirit I must once again find,
Casting a shadow on my happiness
.
Deeper I fall, in this dark night that’s endless
Doubts and fears, my troubled soul do excite,
With a troubled might, they whisper, ceaseless
Drowning my heart, in a sea of despair’s light
.
E’er shall I find, a peaceful, quiet shore
Ease from my troubles, and a calm once more
.
.
This sonnet follows the traditional Spenserian rhyme scheme and structure, with three interlocked quatrains and a final couplet. The first quatrain introduces the theme of being lost in thought, the second develops the idea of the inner turmoil, and the third describes the search for answers. The final couplet offers a glimmer of hope for finding wisdom and guidance.

I enjoyed the mental exercise in putting it together, did you? Do let me know your thoughts..
