Sonnets

I like to experiment with the sonnet form. My most recent to date (February 6, 2007) is "Hearth". In it, I use a rhyme scheme in which there is a single repetition of one word as an alternating rhyme for each stanza, as abcb, defe, ghih. The final couplet is the only true rhyme in the piece. I am hoping this approach gives the piece a primal sensibility to go with the primal subject matter. Maybe the sensibility is more primative. I noted, when checking the sonnet category, that I have 24 sonnets to date in wordcurrents.
