A sonnet typically consists of 14 lines. The sonnet is a poetic form that originated in Italy and gained popularity in English literature. It follows a specific structure and rhyme scheme, traditionally composed in iambic pentameter. The most well-known types of sonnets are the Italian or Petrarchan sonnet and the English or Shakespearean sonnet. Both types have 14 lines, but they differ in terms of their rhyme schemes and structural divisions. The sonnet form provides a concise and structured framework for expressing thoughts, emotions, or exploring a particular theme.
