What is a sonnet?
A sonnet is a poem with 14 lines with 10 syllables per line. There are two different kinds of sonnets, Italian/petrarchan and
Shakespearian/English. Shakespearian sonnets end in couplets. You can tell if it is a sonnet if it is in the shape of a square.

The wall’s infernal and internal
The wall’s akin to doubts within
The wall is vernal and external
The wall within is your Berlin
The wall will tout until you shout
The wall keeps in your thankless sin
The wall keeps out the hopeless doubt
The wall within is your Berlin
The wall will part and break a heart
The wall within divides Berlin
The wall of art keeps us apart
The wall within is your Berlin
The wall’s infernal and internal
The wall within is your Berlin
Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t
You have to believe to achieve anything
It takes hard work and dedication
You have to try your hardest
