3 Sonnet 130 Quatrain = A group of four lines
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips' red; If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damask'd, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound; I grant I never saw a goddess go; My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground: And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare. Couplet = A group of two lines Turn = A change in the poem (A resolution to a problem or question) Usually comes after line 8 or line 12

4 Rhyme Scheme I threw a wish in the well, Don't ask me, I'll never tell I looked to you as it fell, And now you're in my way I'd trade my soul for a wish, Pennies and dimes for a kiss I wasn't looking for this, But now you're in my way Your stare was holding, Ripped jeans, skin was showing Hot night, wind was blowing Where do you think you're going, baby? Hey, I just met you, And this is crazy, But here's my number, So call me, maybe.
