A sonnet consists of fourteen lines packed with emotion and wit, typically organized into a specific rhyme scheme and meter, often iambic pentameter. This poetic form has been a favorite among writers from Shakespeare to modern poets, allowing them to explore themes of love, nature, and human experience in a concise yet powerful way.

When crafting a sonnet, remember to pay close attention to its structure—often featuring three quatrains followed by a couplet in the English (Shakespearean) sonnet or an octave and sestet in the Petrarchan sonnet. A common mistake is to overlook the importance of the volta, or turn, which adds a delightful twist to the thematic content!
