Coleridge parodied the styles of various contemporary writers in three "Sonnets attempted in the[ir] manner" (published under the name of Nehemiah Higginbottom in 1797); [13] and the youthful Byron addressed mocking quatrains "To the author of a sonnet beginning 'Sad is my verse, you say, and yet no tear'".

Cien sonetos de amor ("100 Love Sonnets") is a collection of sonnets written by the Chilean poet and Nobel Laureate Pablo Neruda originally published in Argentina in 1959. Dedicated to Matilde Urrutia , later his third wife, it is divided into the four stages of the day: morning, afternoon, evening, and night.
The sonnets follow certain trends, but they include many different forms. All of the sonnets are composed of two quatrains followed by two tercets.

The eighty-nine sonnets of the Amoretti were written to correspond with the scriptural readings prescribed by the Book of Common Prayer for specific dates in 1594.

In form, each 'sonnet' comprises four sets of internally rhyming quatrains, where the final quatrain either sums up the poem's drift or else serves as a turning point that takes the meaning in a new direction. In this way it corresponds roughly to the final couplet of the conventional Shakespearian sonnet.
It was also the last large use of sonnet form for several decades, in published work, until the appearance of Philip Sidney's sonnet sequence Astrophel and Stella (1591) and the anthology The Phoenix Nest (1593). [4] Most of the poems included in the anthology were written in the 1530s but were only published in the first edition in 1557.
Probably the first full crown of sonnets in English is Lady Mary Wroth's A Crown of Sonnets Dedicated to Love which is from circa 1620. [4] The children's book A Wreath for Emmett Till by Marilyn Nelson also follows the form of a heroic crown of sonnets. [5] Another well-known and frequent author of contemporary crowns of sonnets is Marilyn Hacker.
