The image to the right is a Sonnet. You don’t have to know the specifics of it, but know that there are several different types of Sonnets and they each have a different Rhyme Scheme. Even though all sonnets have exactly 14 lines and they are generally written in Iambic Pentameter, many authors chose to invent their own Rhyme Scheme. You can invent your own, as well. This is a Shakespearean Sonnet and it might be Shakespeare’s most famous one. Of course, that is debatable.
