A Wannabe Sonnet Before... and After... and After...

Latest Draft of the Wannabe Sonnet:
First Semester
The imitation of sunsets on leaves
Warms the cautious chill of autumn’s breeze.
As the night extends and the sunshine grieves,
Persephone sparks nature’s own disease.
When the curl of old petals cannot last
And the light chatter of the woods must pause,
The evenings, blanched like photos of the past,
Accent the aging of silhouette claws.
Summer’s hellish heart winter’s cold greed stole
Snatching the air amid autumn’s brief show.
The morning, blue like a departed soul,
Drowns the gentle white of yesterday’s snow.
Shivers run deep outside the tired school,
Where there cabin fever is no less cruel.

Before
The imitation of sunsets on leaves Warm the cautious chill of autumn’s breeze. As the night extends and the sunshine grieves, Persephone sparks nature’s own disease. Summer’s hellish heart winter’s cold greed stole Snatching the air amid autumn’s brief show. The morning, blue like a departed soul, Drowns the gentle white of yesterday’s snow. The evenings, blanched like photos of the past, Accent the aging of silhouette claws. Aw no my friend these old rhymes cannot last ‘Cause a couplet remains ‘fore I may pause.
My creativity’s drained, help me please, What rhymes with please, cheddar cheese or chemise?

1st Time After
The imitation of sunsets on leaves
Warm the cautious chill of autumn’s breeze.
As the night extends and the sunshine grieves,
Persephone sparks nature’s own disease.
Summer’s hellish heart winter’s cold greed stole
Snatching the air amid autumn’s brief show.
The morning, blue like a departed soul,
Drowns the gentle white of yesterday’s snow.
When the curl of old petals cannot last
And the light chatter of the woods must pause,
The evenings, blanched like photos of the past,
Accent the aging of silhouette claws.
Though shivers run deep outside my abode
Closer we huddle la dee da la –ode AHHHHH.
