This is a variation of the canzone, a lyric poem with varying lengths and patterns. The Canzonetta consists of two octaves using a series of alternating couplets. The last line is repeated at the end of both stanzas. The rhyme scheme can be as followed: a.b.a.b.c.d.c.d or a.b.a.b.c.b.c.b.
“Growing Apple”
Little apple, budding in the tree
Among so many shining leaves,
Why not fall down and be with me
And forgo any lengthened peeves
Of waiting to become full grown?
It is such a hassled time
Waiting for your sun to be shown
And have to simply wait in line.
Can’t you fall and heed my plea?
For it is you who hold the keys,
The answers on what to be
Through all life’s passing deeds.
Would it not be better to be blown
Down to where we all have pined
Or must we just quiet the moans
And have to simply wait in line?
