Rosarian Sonnet
I've come up with a new Sonnet variation, the Rosarian Sonnet. It combines elements of the Petrarchan, Shakespearian, and
Pushkin Sonnet forms.
Its layout can be represented in poetic notation thus:
a
a
b
c
c
d
d
b
e
e
f
g
g
f
In this way the Sonnet is divided into two halves, in keeping with tradition. In a compromise between the Petrarchan and Shakespearian forms, where the Volta (or 'shift' in thought) occurs after lines 8 and 12 respectively, the Volta in the Rosarian Sonnet occurs after line 10.
I'm uncertain whether it's better the concluding quatrain should be f,g,g,f or f,g,f,g (envelope rhyme or alternating rhyme), and I can see justifications for both. Maybe we can keep this optional. Another option is to incorporate the 'b' rhyme of the first half of the Sonnet into the concluding quatrain.
More info on the Rosarian, and many examples can be found here: The Poets Garret
