Answer:

A sonnet

Step-by-step explanation:

a poem of fourteen lines using any of a number of formal rhyme schemes. English/Shakespearean sonnets have three quatrains (4 line sections) and couplet (2 line rhyming section). Italian sonnets have a octave (8 line rhyme section) and a sestet (6 line rhyme section) with the Volta (when applicable) usually occurs between lines 8-9
