(d) Sonnet:
A sonnet is a 14-line poem, traditionally written in iambic pentameter
and adhering to a specific rhyme scheme.
Originating in Italy, sonnets gained popularity in English literature
through poets like William Shakespeare.
Italian sonnets consist of an octave followed by a sestet, while English
sonnets typically comprise three quatrains and a final rhymed couplet.
Despite their compact form, sonnets explore profound themes such as
love, mortality, and beauty, showcasing the poet's skill in crafting intricate
verse within strict structural confines. Shakespeare’s sonnets are famous
poems.
