There are many different forms of sonnet, but for today‛s lesson we are going to be looking at one of the most popular: Shakespearean sonnets.

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?Thou art more lovely and more temperate.Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,And often is his gold complexion dimmed;And every fair from fair sometime declines,By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed;But thy eternal summer shall not fade,Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,Nor shall death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,When in eternal lines to Time thou grow’st.So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Most sonnets are fourteen lines long (although there are exceptions to this rule). Shakespeare‛s sonnets are mostly written in Iambic Pentameter. This means they have ten beats in each line, alternating stressed and unstressed syllables.

In iambic pentameter, writers use a pattern of quieter and louder syllables. First they use a quiet one, then a loud one, and they repeat that pattern five times in each line of their poem. That means iambic pentameter lines have a singsongy rhythm like this: “daDUM daDUM daDUM daDUM daDUM.”

Read the poem aloud and clap out the syllables in each line...
