Using lyrics from a song, create a sonnet using iambic pentameter.
14 lines = 3 quatrains + rhyming couplet (ABAB CDCD EFEF GG).
● The first quatrain should introduce the problem or issue at hand (theme).
● The second and third quatrain should intensify the issue/theme and elaborate the on the theme. The third quatrain typically rounds off or completes the exploration of the theme.
● The rhyming couplet (or the third quatrain) provides a shift in thought or conclusion. Often sonnets pose a question and then this is resolved in the rhyming couplet. Or the couplet draws out a conclusion based on the theme in the quatrain.
