Answer:

Shakespearean sonnet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The English sonnets, also called Shakespearean sonnets or Elizabethan sonnets, are poems with a long tradition that goes back to the Renaissance time period and that were, arguably, brought to perfection by Shakespeare. The structure of these poems consists of three quatrains (four-line stanzas) and a final couplet, all composed in iambic pentameter. These poems usually present an idea that is reversed or turned around on the third quatrain that is resolved in a novel way in the final couplet.
