A Shakespearean (English) sonnet has three quatrains and a couplet, and rhymes abab cdcd efef gg.


Ichabod Crane

Early the years, a tale of Ichabod Crane
In a sleepy town, full of legends old
Potions, poultices, witches, ghosts, and hensbane
Fortune favors the young and the bold

Tall and lanky, keen to share a rumor
He charmed a town with gossip, but not all
Supernatural tales with vitreous humor
The heart of a dear one put up a wall

Denied and refused, he left in a fog
Danger afoot, headless, dark, ruthless head
Ichabod fled, over the wooden log
Sneering, and cruel, pumpkin pitch posted dread

Ichabod earned a dastardly ill fate
Never to possess a beautiful mate
