Sonnet on the Northern Renaissance

The Northern renaissance was not the sameThe renaissance was a time of ‘rebirth’Where many ideas had left and cameNew ideas coming up from the hearthMany artists came about and rose to fameA different style each one to their ownTheir controversial works were not to blameAnd were being presented to the thrownTime of ‘rebirth’ and investigationsIdeas were carried up to the NorthSo many advances and creationsFrom trade and war brought these ideas forthThis time was as glorious as it seemsMany may have thought it to be a dream.
