Similarly, an " a-b-b-a " quatrain ( what is known as " enclosed rhyme ") is used in such forms as the Petrarchan sonnet.

In the Romance languages, the hendecasyllable and Alexandrine are the most widely used meters, though the Petrarchan sonnet has been used in Italy since the 14th century.

The vast majority ( 317 ) of Petrarch's 366 poems collected in the Canzoniere ( dedicated to Laura ) were sonnets, and the Petrarchan sonnet still bears his name.

A tercet may also form the separate halves of the ending sestet in a Petrarchan sonnet, where the rhyme scheme is abbaabba cdccdc, as in Longfellow's " Cross of Snow ".

For example, while " Cross of Snow " is indeed a Petrarchan sonnet, it does not follow the form of abbaabba cdccdc.

Although arguably the most popular form of poetry in the Western tradition is the 14-line sonnet, either in its Petrarchan or its Shakespearean form, lyric poetry appears in a variety of forms.

The forms that dominate the poetic production of these poets are the Petrarchan sonnet cycle and the Horatian / Anacreontic ode.

This practice is especially common in the Petrarchan sonnet, where the idealised beloved is often described part by part, from head to toe.

The words are distributed with eight in the first line and six in the second, mirroring the octet-sestet form of the Italian ( or Petrarchan ) sonnet.

The forms that dominate the poetic production of these poets are the Petrarchan sonnet cycle ( developed around an amorous encounter or an idealized woman ) and the Horatian / Anacreontic ode ( of the " wine, women and song " variety, often making use of the Horatian carpe diem topos-life is short, seize the day ).

The sonnet forms used by Lovecraft veer between the Petrarchan and the Shakespearean.

The structural requirements of the ghazal are similar in stringency to those of the Petrarchan sonnet.

This poem is a Petrarchan sonnet, or can be known as an Italian sonnet, divided into an octave and a sestet, with a rhyme scheme of a-b-b-a-a-b-b-a-c-d-c-d-c-d. After the main idea has been introduced and the image played upon in the octave, the poem undergoes a volta, a change in the persona's train of thought.

The star poet of Tottel's Miscellany, the Earl of Surrey, created the English sonnet form by modifying the Petrarchan sonnet.

An octave is the first part of a Petrarchan sonnet, which ends with a contrasting sestet.

Unlike other traditional forms, such as the Petrarchan sonnet or Shakespearean sonnet, the Onegin stanza does not divide into smaller stanzas of four lines or two in an obvious way.

The Petrarchan sonnet ( also Petrarchanism or Petrarchian ) is a verse form that typically refers to a concept of unattainable love.

Petrarch developed the Italian sonnet pattern, which is known to this day as the Petrarchan sonnet or the Italian sonnet.
