Answer 2

A sonnet is simply a poem written in a certain format. You can identify a sonnet if the poem has the following characteristics:

14 lines. All sonnets have 14 lines which can be broken down into four sections called quatrains.

A strict rhyme scheme. The rhyme scheme of a Shakespearean sonnet is ABAB / CDCD / EFEF / GG (note the four distinct sections in the rhyme scheme).

Written in iambic Pentameter. Sonnets are written in iambic pentameter, a poetic meter with 10 beats per line made up of alternating unstressed and stressed syllables.
