I really don't know because i am looking for the format of a sonnet and I can't happen to find it because the internet sucks and Google.com and bing.com don't happen to work at all right now. So i really don't know and i can't find my notes. And my poem project is due tomorrow. So, good luck! And wish me good luck

How many beats does a sonnet have?
A sonnet isn't defined in terms of beats. Its characteristic feature is being 14 lines long. There have been different variants of the 14 lines over the ages, but it started with the Petrarchan sonnet in Italy, and the main variants in English have been the Shakespearean and Miltonic sonnets. The Shakespearean sonnet is written in iambic pentameter (that is, each line has five feet in the order of unstressed-stressed syllables, for a total of 10 syllables per line). Perhaps that's what you're thinking of.
