BRINGING VISION TO LIGHT

this is the hope that springs from my heart
a depth of belief unparalleled
because truly anything can be done
that life can be balanced with art
and even this can be achieved well
melding multiples as if they are one

the time can be truly right
and vision can be made light

There is no one single part
no one single dream
it's never to late to start
even if that's how it seems
remember your inner smart
and continue on that theme

*The Alfred Dorn sonnet originated in a Formalist publication contest. Each year the Formalist runs a sonnet contest where the applicants make up their own form of sonnet. The sonnet form is named after the winning applicant, and in this case Alfred Dorn was the winner and the sonnet he devised named after him.

The Alfred Dorn sonnet is different than most sonnets, in that it has an Italian sestet and a Sicilian sestet linked by a couplet. Both sestets share common rhyme set by the first line. The rhyme scheme is as follows;
a. b. c. a. b. c. ... d. d. ... a. e. a. e. a. e.



NOTE:
I am REALLY not into rhyming so much in a poem anymore so this was VERY hard for me! I really need to get back into rhyming so that I can still be clever and beautiful even within constraints. :-/
