A sonnet can be written about anything, but it is in such a form that lofty concepts can be described or expressed much better than in blank verse or modern poetry. Many sonnets written were love sonnets, but many weren't. Shakespeare never said that sonnets have to be one way or the other. Shakespeare wasn't living in this current complicated culture which can be very baffling and even overwhelming.

Some common types of poem structures include free verse (no specific format or rhyme scheme), haiku (three lines with syllable pattern 5-7-5), sonnet (14 lines with specific rhyme scheme), and limerick (five lines with specific rhyme and meter). Each structure has its own rules and characteristics that poets can use to create their work.
Many poets write poems in free verse. Sylvia Plath's "Tulips" is written in free verse, just to name one.
One can find the meaning of free verse in literary dictionaries, poetry textbooks, or online resources such as poetry websites or educational platforms that focus on literature. Free verse is a form of poetry that does not follow any specific rhyme scheme or meter, allowing poets greater freedom in their expression.

Identifying the rhyme scheme, meter, and stanza structure are some of the first steps in determining a poem's form. These elements help classify the poem into specific forms such as sonnet, haiku, or free verse.
It has five metrical feet that each contain an unstressed syllable immediately followed by a stressed one.
Sort of. It's certainly playing with the form of the Italian sonnet. Like the Italian sonnet, "Why Brownlee Left" is broken up into an octave and a sestet. This is Muldoon indicating to us that this should at least recall the sonnet form. However, unlike the sonnet, "Why Brownlee Left" does not follow a rhyme scheme (an Italian sonnet is usually rhymed abbaabba cdecde, and the English sonnet usually ababcdcdefefgg) nor is it written in iambic pentameter (the lines are varying lengths rather than 10 syllables each). Muldoon is not a sloppy writer though; he's making this poem more about Brownlee, but also about the sonnet--this is metafiction in that respect. Just like Brownlee, who left when he had every reason to be content, poets are leaving behind the form of the sonnet (in exchange for the free verse we more typically see today) when they had every reason to be content with the sonnet form. That's one reading of it anyway. So, is this a sonnet? Sort of us. It's either commentary on the tradition of the sonnet, or it is an imperfect sonnet, or more likely it's both.
In Sonnet 30, Shakespeare depicts love as a powerful force that can alleviate sadness by invoking memories of past joys. Sonnet 55 asserts that true love can transcend time and secure one's legacy through immortalizing one's beloved in verse. Sonnet 116 emphasizes the enduring nature of true love by defining it as a constant and unwavering force that is not subject to change.
In Sonnet 1 by Edmund Spenser, the speaker hopes that his words, together with the immortality promised by the poem itself, will make the lady immortal through his verse, thus ensuring her eternal fame and beauty.
