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

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.
A sonnet typically consists of 14 lines. The most common meter for a sonnet is iambic pentameter, which means each line has 10 syllables with a stress on every second syllable.

A Shakespearean, or English, sonnet consists of 14 lines, each line containing ten syllables and written in iambic pentameter, in which a pattern of an unemphasized syllable followed by an emphasized syllable is repeated five times.
A sonnet typically has 14 lines, so if you want to get technical, it usually contains around 140-160 words. But hey, who's counting when you're crafting beautiful poetry? Just make sure you nail those rhymes and rhythms, honey.
There are five iambic feet in a line from Sonnet 18 which consists of ten syllables alternating in stress pattern, such as: "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"
"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"
In traditional Psalm tunes, each line typically contains 4 syllables.
The line "it can be as large as a forest" has nine syllables. Forest has two syllables (for-est) and each other word has one syllable.
No, the lines in a sonnet typically have the same number of stressed syllables as other forms of poetry, such as iambic pentameter. The rhyme scheme and structure of a sonnet are what differentiate it from other forms of poetry.
The poem "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love" by Christopher Marlowe has varying syllables in each line. The lines have between 2 to 8 syllables.
