Alankar(Decor) -267 Poem by Indira Renganathan

A Humble Request(15x14 Sonnet)

Because this sonnet has 15 syllables per line and 14 lines
in total it is called 15x14 sonnet.

15x14 sonnet has a pattern of 15 syllables i.e anapest metre,
in each line which is different from the other usual sonnets

Though this sonnet has four stanzas with 2,3,4,5 lines
respectively there is no necessity to divide them into stanzas
as this poem has a 15x14 format.The rhyme scheme helps very easy to find the stanzas.15x14 sonnet has refrains too

Rhyme scheme-aa bba ccca dddaa
Refrain pattern: L1 is repeated in L13
L2 is repeated in L5 L9 and L14.
Refrain words are the last five syllables in L3, L4 and
L6, L7, L8 and the last syllable of L10, L11, L12

This is my third invented sonnet poem other than the
Threesome Sonnet and Reverse Threesome Sonnet

A Humble Request

If I don't feel you God oh my life I feel is incomplete
Make me feel you my God make my life felt fully just complete
I hope some day surely you will answer me oh my dear God
With your presence in my life just before me oh my dear God
Make me feel you my God make my life felt fully just complete
Life is mysterious ups and downs lots You know very well
Steep and deep cliffs and vales rockey stones God You know very well
To cross is very hard without God's tones You know very well
Make me feel you my God make my life felt fully just complete
Several times I have tried to feel you within myself God
But only in vain.How do the flowers all feel fresh oh God
Because they feel your presence in them.So too I should oh God
If I don't feel you God oh my life I feel is incomplete
Make me feel you my God make my life felt fully just complete
