Shakespearean sonnets

Shakespearean sonnets are 14-line poems with a specific structure and rhyme scheme (ABABCDCDEFEFGG). They often explore themes like love, beauty, time, and mortality. Each sonnet is divided into an ABABCDCDEFEF quatrain pattern, culminating in a couplet that offers a conclusion or an insightful twist. Known for their lyrical quality and depth, Shakespearean sonnets use expressive language and clever wordplay. They are a lasting form that captures complex emotions and ideas in a compact, poetic format, showcasing the poet's skill in both storytelling and language.
