The sonnet is a type of English poetry used hundreds of years ago

and this one is the Shakespearean sonnet

it consists of 14 lines always
and it is divided into three parts of lines
four lines then four lines then four lines and at the end two lines

and they rhyme as follows
abab cdcd efef gg
we call this in Arabic القافية

that means that the first and third lines end the same way - increase & decease
and the second and the fourth lines end the same way - die & memory
note: at the days of Shakespeare people pronounce the y in memory like the end of die

and so on for the rest of the sonnet

thank you for this nice topic
