Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | A sonnet is a poetic form which originated in Italy during the late Middle Ages/Early Renaissance, but spread out across the world over the ensuing centuries. The simplest description of the sonnet is that it is a fourteen-line poem with any of several specific rhyme schemes, usually written in iambic pentameter (that is, each line has 10 syllables that naturally pair off). It is thematically broken down into two parts, the first of which presents the subject of the poem, and the second of which responds to or reflects on that subject. The exact number lines in each part, the choice of rhyme schemes, and the number of metrical "feet" in each line varies from culture to culture, but a sonnet is always recognizably a sonnet. |
