So, are there fourteen lines in every Sonnet,
and with iambic pentameter on it?
Do all the Sonnets have a structured rhyme?
And are the stanzas quatrains all the time?

The English may have Shakespearean styles.
Italians also have their own profiles,
with eight line octaves and six line sestets,
that's really not as complex as it gets.

For I have found that there are many more.
In fact, there's variations quite galore,
of meter, length, and of stanzaic form.
Amazing how some poets stretch the norm.

I searched the network under every nook.
From all my findings, then, I wrote this book.
