    Depends on the sonnet

    Shakespearen is the easiest, the requirements are:

    14 lines

    iambic pentameter (10 beats per line)

    abab cdcd efef gg rhyme scheme

    gg is like a shift from the rest of the poem between lines 13 and 14

    has to be about some type of love

    petrarchan:

    14 lines

    two stanzas then the two lines

    iambic pentameter

    also has specific rhyme scheme

    Abba Abba cdecde or cdcdcd shift after the first 8 lines

    has to be about some type of love

    there is also spencerian and modern but these are more common and the shakespeare one is the easier one honestly
