You changed your name but couldn't change your face.There's something hiding underneath my bed.My father never tells me what he thinks.Your fingerprints were all around the room.You might even find a way to combine several of them in the same poem. For example, you could use one as the first line of a sonnet. If you want, use them as starting points for your own poetry.
Now that you know how to write a sonnet, ready to try one of your own? Below are some six sentences in iambic pentameter. You can read more about different kinds of rhymes here. This is an example of what is called off-rhyme, or slant-rhyme. For example, "art" and "convert" have the same final sound, but the vowel sounds ("a" in art and "e" in convert) are different. You may notice that some of the rhymes are not exact. Thy end is truth's and beauty's doom and date. Or else of thee this I prognosticate, (g) If from thy self, to store thou wouldst convert: (f) (d)īut from thine eyes my knowledge I derive, (e)Īnd constant stars in them I read such art (f)Īs truth and beauty shall together thrive (e) Or say with princes if it shall go well (c)īy oft predict that I in heaven find. Pointing to each his thunder, rain and wind, (d) Nor can I fortune to brief minutes tell (c) Of plagues, of dearths, or seasons' quality,(b) Not from the stars do I my judgement pluck, (a)īut not to tell of good, or evil luck, (a) Here's an example of a sonnet by Shakespeare written in this form.

So in a Shakespearian sonnet, the first line (a) rhymes with the third line (also called "a"). An "a" line rhymes with another "a" line, a "d" line rhymes with another "d" line, etc. When a rhyme scheme is written in this way, each of the letters stands for one line. The rhyme scheme looks like this: abab cdcd efef gg. The Shakespearian sonnet has fourteen lines in iambic pentameter that are divided into three groups of four lines and one group of two lines. There are different kinds of sonnets, but I'm going to talk about the Shakespearian sonnet, also called the English sonnet. Hear it? bah-BAH bah-BAH bah-BAH bah-BAH bah-BAH.
