Sonnet

Shakespearean’s my fave.
Specific rules apply.
Stick with iambic feet.
Syllables? Ten per line
Standards say three quatrains.
See rules for how they rhyme!
Summarize with couplet.

John Watt Date: 2/19/2022 7:14:00 PM Excellent construction within the strict constraints. Of all the forms I love the sonnet most, and was so happy to see you and Connie both win with your Pleiades entries. Nice synopsis of sonnet rules and a lovely tip of the hat to the Bard. Congrats!
