The Italian word sonetto, which means "a little sound or song," is where the word "sonnet" originates.

· For ages, poets have been compelled to write in the popular classical form of the sonnet.

· The sonnet is typically a fourteen-line poem in iambic pentameter that follows a strict thematic framework and uses one of several rhyme schemes.

· The Petrarchan and Shakespearean sonnet forms serve as the standards from which all other sonnet forms are derived.
