GA Writing Prompts - 61. Poetry Prompt # 10 – Italian Sonnet
Life Cycle
Summer has ended; the season passed by
All flowers wither and the leaves turn brown
And like the leaves, ev’rything must go down
The moment we’re born, we’re destined to die
Bound to decay what delighted the eye
And clad soon enough in a burial gown
Necropolis our life’s pilgrimage town
Where lifelong dreams rest and in ruins lie
I feel tempted to grieve, to fear and dread
I almost forgot what winter will bring
The leaves, now falling, turning brown and red
Will all be back, alive and new, in spring
The leaves aren’t bound to lie forever dead
Life moves in cycles; no end and begin
