    The sonnet form has been changed and adapted over the years, however there are two main structures that poets use when writing sonnets.

    A Petrarchan sonnet has 14 lines and is structured as an octave (8 line stanzas) and a sestet (6 line stanzas). Its rhyme scheme is usually abababab cdcdcd / cdecde.
