“In your language you have a form of poetry called the sonnetâ€¦There are fourteen lines, I believe, all in iambic pentameter. Thatâ€™s a very strict rhythm or meterâ€¦And each line has to end with a rigid pattern. And if the poet does not do it exactly this way, it is not a sonnetâ€¦But within this strict form the poet has complete freedom to say whatever he wantsâ€¦Youâ€™re given the form, but you have to write the sonnet yourself. What you say is completely up to you.”
