The Italian sonnet, which was created first, is the combination of an octave (eight lines broken into two quatrains) and a sestet (six lines broken into two tercets). The octave proposes a problem or question, and the sestet generally proposes the solution, or leads toward a conclusion.
The rhyme scheme of a sonnet refers to the pattern formed by the rhyming words at the end of each line. Each end-rhyme is assigned a letter, and the fourteen letters assigned to the sonnet describe the rhyme scheme. sonnet is a one-stanza poem of fourteen lines, written in iambic pentameter. One way to describe a verse line is to talk about how many stressed and unstressed syllables are in the line. A simple grouping of syllables, some stressed, some unstressed, is called a foot.
