Best Answer

Shakespeare used several poetic forms, notably the long narrative poem (in Venus and Adonis) and the Sonnet. All of these poetic forms are in iambic pentameter. The narrative poems consist of a number of stanzas each with an ababcc scheme. The sonnets are generally in a ababcdcdefefgg scheme.
