A sonnet about teepees

A sonnet about teepees

The challenge is to write about teepees, and also write in sonnet form. Okay, I’ll start constructing lines in which to say a sonnet’s worth of reasons for why these (teepees) are just the height and shape to ease themselves into the fourteen lines (octave and sestet) of the Petrarchan form; firstly, I think they are octagonal. Oh please let’s say they are, and pause and praise their spacious floors, before we move on swiftly to the rise and tautness of their angled walls that narrow rapidly into a gracious opening so unlike the way a roof concludes a house. Um,well, I think that’s all.
