Shakespearean sonnet is a poem of 14 lines of iambic pentameter consisting of three stanzas of four lines rhyming abab, cdcd, efef followed by a couplet rhyming gg.
Here is an example of a recently penned sonnet (mainly in the Shakespearean style without the strict iambic meter) by our own Bags123:
A Shift into Slow
Winter is spending a cold icy day
Beneath woolen blankets beside a logs flame
Propped by a bottle of red Cabernet
I remember its face, but forget its name
Summer’s spent racing myself down the roads
Macadamized memories behind every toll
Déjà vu’s dealing last years episodes
While speeding around… A gold fish in his bowl
Autumn and Spring,… I’m just barely aware
The leaves are all gone, or the snows disappear
Often I realize I’ve missed what they share
The cost of advancement within my career
I prefer winter time’s blustery blows
As it forces my life to shift into slow
