          Poem with a pattern of rhyming schemes

          The Petrarchan sonnet, also known as the Italian sonnet, is a sonnet named after the Italian poet Francesco Petrarca,[1] although it was not developed by Petrarch himself, but rather by a string of Renaissance poets.[2] Because of the structure of Italian, the rhyme scheme of the Petrarchan sonnet is more easily fulfilled in that language than in English.

          The original Italian sonnet form consists of a total of fourteen hendecasyllabic lines in two parts, the first part being an octave and the second being a sestet.

          Form

          The rhyme scheme for the octave is typically ABBAABBA.

          The sestet is more flexible.

          How did petrarch die

          Petrarch typically used CDECDE or CDCDCD for the sestet. Some other possibilities for the sestet include CDDCDD, CDDECE, or CDDCCD (as in Wordsworth's "Nuns Fret Not at Their Convent's Narrow Room," a sonnet about sonnets).

          This form was used in the earliest English sonnets by Wyatt and others.
