Answer: A sonnet

Step-by-step explanation:

A sonnet is a form of poetry written in 14 lines that uses iambic pentameter on each line. There are two kinds of sonnets: Shakespearean (English) and Petrarchan (Italian). Shakespearean sonnets are grouped into three quatrains (groups of four lines) and a couplet with this rhyming pattern: abab cdcd efef gg.
