The sonnet form is a type of poem that has remained unchanged throughout time. It is a fourteen line poem in iambic pentameter. The term, "sonnet," originates from the Italian word "sonnetto" which means a "little sound" or "little song." In Italy, at first, the term used to refer to any short poem; but, in course of time, it came to be restricted to a particular form of poem, a lyrical poem in 14 lines, generally in iambic pentameter. But over time, this feature of sonnets has also undergone several mutations; for instance, in France, most sonnets are written in iambic hexameter. The sonnet has had to adjust itself to the features and structure of particular languages and their idiosyncrasies. Apart from its specificity of being a 14-line poem, we can say that the sonnet is a lyrical poem with musicality and song-like rhythm.
