SONNET

Sonnet Examples

The sonnet is a type of lyric poetry that started in Europe. After the 13th century, it began to signify a poem that had 14 lines which has an iambic pentameter meter:

• Iambic means that the first syllable is not stressed in each of the "feet," the groups of syllables in poetry. The second one is stressed.
• Pentameter means there are five of these feet.
• Meter is the rhythm of the poem.

The word “sonnet” means “little song” or “little sound.”

Types of Sonnets

Italian Sonnets

Sonnets can be Italian, with the lines being divided into a group of eight, called an octave and a group of six, called a sestet.
Giacomo da Lentini is responsible for creating the Italian sonnet. He penned almost 250 sonnets and others who wrote sonnets include Petrarca, Alighieri, Cavalcanti, and Michelangelo.
In an Italian sonnet, there is a “volta” or “turn” which signals the change from the proposition to its resolution. It usually appears in the ninth line.
The rhyme schemes for the octave in Lentini sonnets is a-b-a-b, a-b-a-b, but later, all sonnets were written with the a-b-b-a, a-b-b-a rhyme scheme. The sestet is either c-d-e-c-d-e or c-d-c-c-d-c. A later variation was c-d-c-d-c-d.

English Sonnets

English or Shakespearean sonnet examples also have 14 lines, but are grouped differently. There are three quatrains, which have four lines each, followed by a couplet, which is two lines. The rhyme scheme is a-b-a-b, c-d-c-d, e-f-e-f, g-g.
In 1591, Sir Philip Sidney's sonnet Astrophel and Stella established the form of the English sonnet. Other notable authors are Spenser, Drayton, Greville, and, of course, Shakespeare. Even though Shakespeare did not create the sonnet, he was most prolific, writing 154 of them. In the English sonnet, the “volta” appears in the third quatrain.
