There are a lot of people who would like to create sonnets but they are not sure how they are going to do it.

These are just some of the things that you can do to make sure that everything will be possible:

• You can use the Shakespearean rhyme scheme.

• You need to know more details about iambic pentameter.

• Make sure that the meter will be changed from time to time.

• Be thoughtful when you are creating stanzas.

• The subject matter should be carefully placed to help people who will read the sonnet to understand everything.

If people like your sonnet, they might request for more. You can make sure that the subject will always be clear.

Sonnets are works of literature. Shakespeare is the most famous author of sonnets, but anybody is capable of writing a sonnet by following these simple steps

• First, pick a subject that you wish to write about. Shakespeare was famous for writing about love, but you may write about any topic such as nature or animals.

• Then, begin to write the lines in an iambic pentameter and also be sure to write in a rhyme scheme

• The format of the sonnet should be written as 3 quatrains and after that have 1 couplet

• Lastly, be sure that the sonnet has 14 lines
