The Sonnet. A sonnet is a one-stanza poem of fourteen lines, written in iambic pentameter. One way to describe a verse line is to talk about how many stressed and unstressed syllables are in the line. A simple grouping of syllables, some stressed, some unstressed, is called a foot. The iambic foot is an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. Pentameter means there are five feet in the line.
William Shakespeare did not invent the sonnet form that bears his name, but he did write many of them. The Shakespearean sonnet is actually an adaptation of the Petrarchan sonnet. It is more suited to the English language. There are 14 lines in the Shakespearean sonnet. Three sets of four lines called quatrains are finished off with a heroic couplet of two lines. The last couplet usually has a twist or dramatic closing to the sonnet.
