Poets write sonnets for their structured form, which typically consists of 14 lines and a specific rhyme scheme. This structure allows poets to convey complex emotions and ideas in a concise, impactful way. Additionally, the challenge of adhering to the strict rules of a Sonnet can inspire creativity and ingenuity in poetic expression.
