rhyme forms: AABB, ABAB, ABBA; to freestyle forms such as AAAB, BAAA, or ABCD.

However, moderns can opt to give them titles

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, By Sandra Feldman
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
We speak to robots on the phone,
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And our computers are our home,
And every fair from fair sometime declines, We really think we’re not alone,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade, But all of this lacks Human tone,
