In order to express rhyme, you need to assign a letter to each sound. For example, the first line ends with "oe'r", which is represented by the letter A, the second line ends with "bed", which is represented by the letter B, and the third line ends with "led", which is also represented by B, because bed and led are homonyms, and so on.
The first eight lines of a sonnet are called eight-line conjunctions, and the rhymes are a-b-b-a and a-b-a, which are used to ask questions. The rhymes of the last six lines are c-d-e and c-d-e, which are used to solve problems.
The following sonnet was written by henry wadsworth longfellow in Petrarch style. You can use it to learn this style. Maybe you want to mark the rhyme of each line.
nature
As a loving mother, when the day is over,
Take her child to bed,
Half willing, half unwilling to be led,
Throw his broken toy on the ground,
Still staring at them through the open door,
There is no complete reassurance and comfort.
By replacing their promises with others,
Although more exciting, it may not make him happier;
So treat us naturally and take it away.
Our toys are sung one by one, with our hands singing.
Guide us to rest so gently, let's go
I hardly know whether we want to leave or stay,
Sleep too hard to understand.
To what extent the unknown surpasses the known.

/kloc-in the 6th century, English poets stole the arrangement of sonnets, but changed the rhyme to a-b-a-b, c-d-c-d, e-f-e-f, G-G. According to Shakespeare's sonnets (also known as Elizabethan style), the poet asked questions in the first twelve lines and solved them in the last two lines, ending. Shakespeare mastered and applied this poetic style and successfully wrote many famous love sonnets.
The following English sonnets by Edna Vincent Millay will help you learn this style:
Don't pity me
Pity me not because of the daylight.
At the end of the day, the sky no longer walks;
Don't pity me for the lost beauty.
With the passage of time, from fields and bushes;
Don't pity my monthly loss,
I didn't know that the low tide would flow to the sea,
It's not that a person's desire is suppressed soon,
You stopped looking at me with love.
I always knew that love no longer existed.
Bigger than the flowers blown by the wind,
Than a raging tide stepping over a moving coast,
Scatter new debris gathered in the strong wind;
Pity my slow learning.
What the agile mind sees at every turning point.
