Answer:
Sonnets: usually written in ABABCDCD form. 14 lines and 10 syllables per line. Below is one I wrote in 8th grade.
Explanation:
The life of a dream, like that of a child
Sprouts as an unformed thought from deep inside
Shaped of small things such as warmth of a smile
They’re welcomed to life with arms open wide
A true blessing bestowed upon the world
Seeds for potential miracles are sown
But also feelings of hatred unfurl
Abash’d and tossed amid life’s ebb an’ flow
No parent should ever outlive their young
Though many hardships they may endure
Like callow melodies light on your tongue
Dreams are like children, so simple and pure
We want to watch them as they change and grow
Like children, you must one day let them go
