Segmented Silence [Sonnet]

[Underground_Network]

Segmented silence,
Another one has bitten the dust?
There's no time for violence,
We've had more than enough.

Tired of being tired,
Afraid of being afraid,
Its time to break desire
And learn to dissuade.

Its time to stop and think.
Step back into a memory,
Get stuck in a place distinct,
And find the light is shimmering.

It is a vision implanted and left to grow
But then, with silence, it will fade out, slow.

Is this a different type of sonnet? I'm used to the Shakesperean in iambic pentameter.

Really like your message.

Anything with ABABCDCDEFEFGG rhyme scheme is a sonnet.

And technically speaking, from a contemporary perspective, anything with 14 lines is a sonnet, though that's stretching it a bit.

Iambic pentameter is solely Shakespearean sonnets. That and most of my poetry is contemporary anyway. I forget, what I did might be called an 'Alexandrian' sonnet or something like that. I'm not sure. :/ I've learned it like three times, but I always forget lol. I think it ends in 'ian,' not sure about the 'Alexandr' part though. xD
