Red Blushed And All Cut Up

By Paul McCann

.
Talking to myself there
Someone had overheard.
I was lost for a word.
There was nothing to share.
Embarrassed I was there.
Left awkward and absurd .
A broken wingless bird.
With nowhere to fly there.
Caught red faced there was I.
Didn't want to be seen.
I just wanted to die.
I just wanted to scream.
I'm so terribly shy.
Lost for words it would seem.

Footnote -

The Sonnet  is a 14 line poem with a specific rhyming pattern

 The rule is to keep to a set of alternate and/or iambic pentameter variations.
A good example of this is breaking up the poem into an 8 line verse followed by a  6 line verse style and then forming that structure into a basic AABA method  . Using this principle the sonnet may follow a rhyming pattern such as ABBAABBA for the first 8 lines and then ABCABC in the 6 line verse which permits the 14 line sonnet to be completed ,.
