The typical S sonnet is actually a 4-stanza poem: three of 4 lines, rhyming abab, cdcd, efef; and a couplet, gg. The easiest way to go is to make the first three parallel in some way, with the couplet a punch-line wrap-up. Look at 73; even if you don't fully understand it, you'll see the structure.Posted by Hamlet on April 22, 1997 at 08:42:22
