I am sorry, i was talking about aken and sean. I didn't get time to check yours.. I going there right now.

I will just add both of their formats... I am not sure of the spelling of petrarchian...

The petrarchan (Italian sonnet)

Rhymes:
abbaabba cdecde (or cdcdcd or any other combination or two or three rhyme words that avoids a couplet at the end.

Terza Rima is a poetic rhyme scheme which involve interlocking rhymes, written in iambic tercets. The rhyme scheme is aba bcb cdc ded (and so forth) for as long as the poet wishes to continue. (as a sonnet, ending in a couplet)

Although no specific line length is required, most terza rima poems in English are written in
iambic pentameter. If other line lengths are used, such as tetrameter, all lines must be in that length.
