    A Sonnet is a form of lyric poetry derived from the Italian word SONETTO, which translates as "little song" or "little sound."

    A Sonnet contains fourteen lines of poetry.

    It is written in iambic pentameter, where each line consists of exactly ten syllables, where each unemphasized syllable is ideally followed by an emphasized syllable. This scheme is repeated five times per line.

    Sonnets adhere to various rhyme schemes, the most common being that made popular by William Shakespeare, who wrote 154 individual sonnets in addition to those which he inserted into his plays. Shakespeare's rhyme scheme is:
    a-b-a-b
    c-d-c-d
    e-f-e-f
    g-g

    The last two lines are a rhyming couplet.

    Beloved Lord Bacon


    Queen nobly taken; A Prince of vain might.
    Great Virgin the tone, her pride unshaken;
    Forsakes Lord Bacon, hidden in plain sight.
    His most royal throne, unjustly taken.

    Of letters to knit, he displays great wit.
    The truth of the spear the people do hear.
    A circle does sit, the bard is a hit!
    The public does cheer, reaching the Queen's ear.

    Removing the blight, restoring man's site,
    God he does hail, lifting the veil.
    Throughout his dark night he serves the Great Light,
    Standing the gale, even in jail.

    Yet forgiveness pours out from Saint Germain,
    Great Love flowing forth as violet rain!
