Sonnet Dissection

Compose a sonnet and break down its iambic pentameter.

Sonnet is one of the most timeless forms of poetry, known for its strict structure of 14 lines and iambic pentameter. This prompt challenges you not only to write a sonnet but also to dissect its rhythm and metre. Reflect on how the rhythm (ten syllable line with stress on every second syllable) guides the emotional trajectory of the poem. This exercise promotes the exploration of the integral relationship between sound, rhythm, and thematic reflection in poetic creation.
