The basic rhyme sceme is ABAB CDCD EFEF GG for the lines.

they also follow an imamic parameter which means you have to mave even number of syllables is each line and the same number is continued through out the entire poem.

Answer 2

A sonnet is a special kind of poem. It has 14 lines, a rhythm called "iambic pentameter," and a special rhyming pattern. Shakespeare was especially well-known for his sonnets. You can get more information at the links below.

The Prologue from Act I of Romeo and Juliet is an example of a well-known proverb, as is Shakespeare's eighteenth sonnet, which begins, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? / Thou art more lovely and more temperate:".

Answer 3

This example, Shakespeare's Sonnet 116, illustrates the form:

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no, it is an ever fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring barque,
Whose worth's unknown although his height be taken.
Love's not time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Answer 4

A sonnet is a poem of fourteen lines following a strict rhythmic pattern. An example would be:

ABABCDCDEFEFGG

Answer 5

A sonnet is a verse or limerick...also like an ode. Example the song "Ode to Billy Joe"

Answer 6

A sonnett is a lyric poem of fourteen lines, following one or another of several set rhyme-schemes.

Example:
"I shall forget you presently, my dear"
Edna St. Vincent Millay

I shall forget you presently, my dear,
So make the most of this, your little day,
Your little month, your little half a year,
Ere I forget, or die, or move away,
And we are done forever; by and by
I shall forget you, as I said, but now,
If you entreat me with your loveliest lie
I will protest you with my favorite vow.
I would indeed that love were longer-lived,
And vows were not so brittle as they are,
But so it is, and nature has contrived
To struggle on without a break thus far,
Whether or not we find what we are seeking
Is idle, biologically speaking.

Answer 7

Answer 8
