Failing Attempt at Sonnetry

A Petrarchan Sonnet is a poem with a specific composition of an octet and sestet, and specific rhyme scheme.  The first 8 lines makes the octet.  The last 6 lines makes the sestet.  The octet and sestet may be talking about the same subject, but in a different sense.  For example the octet may be foreshadowing the subject, while the sestet reveals the subject, or the octet deals with physical nature of the subject, while the sestet deals with its spiritual nature and so on and so on.........

rhyme scheme is as follows:

a b b a a b b a c d c d c d *

*the sestet has a variety of rhyme schemes, check out the form here at Basic Sonnet Forms.

So here is my first sonnet!

To others you must seem aloof

And many a time I've called you crazy

As very often you are lazy

And even though you are a goof

I cannot offer much more proof

The evidence of my love for you is hazy

But you're sweet and innocent like daisies

So down to your level I will stoop

To pet my silly furry cat

No matter how you annoy me so

And even though you've gotten fat

I let your roam to and fro

I hate when you claw on this and that

But I will never let you go.

Dedicated to my somewhat unintelligent, but ever endearing cat, Lucy.
