Lego Land



Lego Land is small and really tiny,

with plastic people shrunk and frozen still.

Glad they can’t talk for they would be whiny,

loud and forever screaming with a shrill.



Visiting their museums would be a trip,

with silly artwork hanging on the walls.

We would go through it quickly in a blip,

while walking up and down their little halls.



Wonderful shiny pieces all connected,

in amazing shapes that were injected.

The Sonnetina


This form is a shortened version of the Sonnet. It contains just 10 lines, and is comprised of two quatrains and a couplet. The couplet can be placed either after the two quatrains, or between them. As it is a shortened Sonnet I think the longer lines of pentameter should prevail. If the variation of the closing quatrain is used, the volta appears after the couplet, which acts as a kind of middle ground between the two quatrains. The rhyme scheme for the quatrains can be envelope or alternating (a,b,b,a, or a,b,a,b,) or they can be unrhymed.
