That Hometown House(Asean Sonnet)


The Asean Sonnet is:
lyrical.
a quatorzain made up of an octave followed by a sestet.
metric, iambic pentameter.
mono-rhymed, aaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
turned on the 9th line.

That Hometown House

It was in that housea home born and lived
Old and young and kids all happily lived
But the oldfor some years only survived
They passed away one by one, home deprived
But with the rest of the folkshome wellthrived
Nextline of youths grown strong and old revived
All was wellandthey all happily lived
Lovingly thetwo generations lived

But soona turn of life- new trend arrived
Taste for life abroad-the youths wished and vied
One by oneall fledaway as conceived
Soonthe homebecameempty, nil, deceived
House was left locked homeless bereaved and grieved
It was in that housea home born and lived
