It may not always be obvious that you’re reading a sonnet. In this poem, line 9 introduces a complication signaled by the word “But,” and it also brings in a new rhyme with the word “fade.” Sonnets typically have a “turn”, a place where the argument AND the rhyme scheme change. When you read a sonnet, it’s important to think about what the poet is saying but also how. Conference for Antiracist Teaching, Language and Assessment.
