To make the structure consistent with an Italian sonnet, the student should edit the sonnet as follows: by changing the octave’s rhyme scheme to abba abba and deleting the quatrain.

Italian sonnets present 14 lines and are written in iambic pentameter (five metrical feet, each consisting of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable). They are divided into two sections: the octave and the sestet.

The octave consists of the first eight lines. It has an ABBA ABBA rhyme pattern.

The sestet consists of the final six lines. It has a rhyme scheme with two or three sets of rhymes. The rhyme pattern can vary (e.g. CDCDCD, CDECDE, etc.). Typically, however, the final two lines of the poem do not rhyme with each other.
