hey all,
i know the petrarchan sonnet (abbaabbacdecde, with lots of variations on the last six lines) and the shakespearian sonnet (ababcdcdefefgg), but i dont know the third kind of sonnet. my poetry teacher just mentioned it in passing, saying that it was really hard. of course, to my ears, ‘really hard’ sounds like ‘beyond your abilities,’ and i cannot let a challenge like that go by. anybody out there know how the rhyme pattern goes?
thanking you in advance,
i remain,
moistly yours,
sneeZe
