2 Additionally, lyric poems focus on emotion.
Excerpted/Quoted from Sonnet: A fourteen-line poem, usually composed in iambic pentameter, employing one of several rhyme schemes. ..: -"Petrarchan" or "Italian" sonnet = octave rhymed abbaabba and a "sestet" rhymed either cdecde, cdccdc, or cdedce. The octave poses a question or problem, relates a narrative, or puts forth a proposition; the sestet presents a solution to the problem, comments upon the narrative, or applies the proposition put forth in the octave. -the "Shakespearean" or "English" sonnet = divided into three quatrains and a couplet rhymed abab cdcd efef gg. The couplet provides an epigrammatic comment on the narrative or problem put forth in the quatrains. -and the "Spenserian" sonnet = three quatrains and a couplet like the Shakespearean, but links their three rhyme schemes in this way: abab bcbc cdcd ee. The Spenserian sonnet develops its theme in two parts like the Petrarchan, its final six lines resolving a problem, analyzing a narrative, or applying a proposition put forth in its first eight lines Additionally, lyric poems focus on emotion.
