Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503 - 24 September 1542), a 16th-century English lyrical styled poet, is credited as the inventor of the English sonnet by writing the first one of its type in the early 16th century. The sonnet form used by Shakespeare, composed of three quatrains and a terminal couplet in iambic pentameter with the rhyme pattern abab cdcd efef gg. This is also called the Elizabethan sonnet or English sonnet. This styled sonnet is a fourteen lined poems with a strict rhyme scheme. Additionally, it is formatted and laid out as 3 quatrains (3 sections of 4 lines each) and a rhyming couplet at the end (section of 2 lines). One may find the English sonnet at times with the lines written in iambic pentameter, where the words are metered in such a manner that causes every other syllable to have a strong, stressed sound, which creates the effect of the line ending with a strong sound. However, one may write the English sonnet without the iambic pentameter format based on the person's choice.
Number Nine
What sixty-three divided by seven,
The square root of sixteen plus five is live?
Four squared plus two minus nine, is heaven
Square root of eighty-one, this is no jive?
Number three times three, glad it's you not me
Ten minus one sounds like a crazy plan
Six plus three, believe me I have to see
Three threes, you dudes must live in a blue can
Get away, scam; this is not the real deal!
Bring me some poems and nice shrimp fried rice
Keep your math, pull your hair out and go squeal
Bring me short stories with a theme that's nice:
Now leave with your numbers added to nine,
While I sit with my muse and some fine wine!
