Step-by-step explanation:

Sonnets are lyrical poems written as a love note or in appreciation of a lover, mostly women. A Shakespearean Sonnet is a form of a sonnet that was based on the pattern of Shakespeare's style.

Sonnets are written mostly in fourteen lines, where the themes may vary from love, beauty, jealousy and most of all, appreciation of the lover. In this type of sonnet, the lines are written in iambic pentameter where the rhyme scheme is ABAB CDCD EFEF GG.
