This is a sonnet
This is a sonnet Because that’s what it is And that’s the truth And this is a sonnet. It has 14 lines A perfect rhyme scheme The subject is romantic And the volta is crisp.
No it’s not it has sixteen lines And no rhyme scheme at all! In fact it doesn’t even have a rhythm. How is this even a poem? It’s a poem because it is And it’s a sonnet. That’s what it is. Italian? English? Doesn’t matter. Anyway, not all sonnets have voltas.
