Freedom in Sonnets
"The rhyme scheme of the octave is usually fixed- abba abba, but that of the sestet may vary: cde cde, or cdc cdc, or cdc dcd." (Hamilton 231)
Yes, sonnets are limiting- but at least there is a variety in the selection of rhyme. I like sonnet because there is a pattern to follow and I find them easier to write. However, I still like to have the freedom of choice, and the different possibilities of a rhyme scheme give me that choice.
