The English (or Shakespearean) Sonnet (16th century) contains three quatrains, each with an independent pair of alternating rhymes. It concludes with a couplet. There are a total of fourteen lines.
A petite girl stands alone in the room
Wide-eyed, showing innocence on her face
Pleading and begging as the monster looms
Chasing relentlessly at a quick pace
Scurrying away because of her fear
The monster’s face contorts into a smile
Relishing the sight of a single tear
A mere sighting, yet it is so worthwhile
The tired girl decides to hatch a new plan
For him to taste his own medication
She clings to the sliver of hope that she can
Execute ideas without hesitation
In position, kicking with all her might
And in turn, gives the monster quite a fright
