A Kite So Beautiful(Beymorlin Sonnet)

Beymorlin Sonnet is called "a Shakespearean sonnet of Italian form"
probably meaning it is a cross between a Shakespearean and Italian sonnet.
The distinguishing feature of this sonnet is that
there seems to be a double rhyme pattern occurring simultaneously.

The elements of the Beymorlin Sonnet are:

written in a quatorzain made up of 3 quatrains and a couplet.
metered, primarily iambic pentameter.
double rhymed, rhyme scheme abab cdcd efef gg with a separate internal rhyme in the same pattern as the end rhyme.
The internal rhyme should occur within the first two syllables of each line.
composed with the epiphany arriving slowly after the 2nd quatrain.

A Kite So Beautiful

A kite so beautiful when flies sky high
Has a big goal not to swoop down and loose
So straight up and up it does fly too high
So merrily it touches the sky's views

As it is a fighter kite with Manja
A thread rough dipped in glue and glass powder
And fit properly to a frame, aha
It slays the thread of other kite fighter

When flies sky high a kite so beautiful
It has a big goal to swoop down and win
Sharp eyes when spot its prey so dutiful
Ho, swift zooms down with its flying din din

This or that, kite is to play from far height
Just for preying, to alight sunny bright

Excellent example of a Beymorlin Sonnet. Despite being a hybrid or a cross between two literary traditions, it has not lost its sheen or the sharpness. You have proved that it can be as effective and lovable in Indian context and conditions as it was in European milieu. Thanks, Ma'am.
