A Shakespearean Sonnet is a form popularized by Shakespeare which consists of the rhyme scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF GG and is written in iambic pentameter. It stands in contrast to, say, Petrarchan or Spenserian or Occitan sonnets, which employ differing rhyme schemes and meters. _______________________________________________________________________ In other words, Shakespeare's sonnets were written by himself, regular sonnets aren't. It's really as simple as that... And besides, all sonnets are written in Iambic Pantameter and consist of fourteen lines.
