Sonnet

This presentation explores the fascinating art of the sonnet, a poetic form that originated in Italy and derives its name from the Italian word "sonetto," meaning "little song." Comprising fourteen lines, sonnets feature a specific structure with an octave (the first eight lines) and a sestet (the last six lines) that follows distinct rhyme patterns. We will analyze the famous Shakespearean sonnet format and its unique interplay of rhymes. Join us as we dive into the world of sonnets, understanding their evolution, style, and significance in literary history.

  5. On Sonnets • “I find it useful to think of a sonnet as a house. Traditionally a house has windows, doors, a roof and walls. But what if a house of the future could do without doors or windows? What if the roof or walls could be replaced by some sort of energy field? Would it still be recognizable as a house? It might seem strange at first, but after living in it for a while, you would probably come to think of it as a house just the same” – www.sonnetwriters.com/definition-of-sonnet/
