سونت
A sonnet is a fixed poetic form with a structure traditionally consisting of fourteen lines adhering to a set rhyming scheme. The term derives from the Italian word sonetto (, from the Latin word sonus, ). Originating in 13th-century Sicily, the sonnet was in time taken up in many European-language areas, mainly to express romantic love at first, although eventually any subject was considered acceptable. Many formal variations were also introduced, including abandonment of the quatorzain limit – and even of rhyme altogether in modern times.
AI overview
A sonnet is a fourteen-line poem with a specific rhyming pattern, a form that originated in 13th-century Sicily and spread throughout Europe. Though sonnets were traditionally used to express romantic love, they became a vehicle for exploring any subject matter, and modern poets have experimented with the form by varying its length, rhyme scheme, or abandoning rhyme entirely.
