Question

what is the most likely reason rita dove chose to call this poem a sonnet? the work has no rhyme scheme. the subject is romantic in nature. the poem contains 14 lines. each stanza has seven lines. \sonnet in primary colors\

Explanation:

A sonnet is a 14 - line poem. The presence of 14 lines is a key characteristic of a sonnet. The lack of a rhyme scheme would go against typical sonnet structure, the subject being romantic is not a defining feature of a sonnet, and having stanzas of seven lines is not what makes a poem a sonnet.

Answer:

The poem contains 14 lines.
