An Introduction to Sonnet/Different types of Sonnet Sonnet is a form of verse. It has its origin in Italy. A sonnet is a poem of fourteen lines. Generally, they consist of five iambic feet in each line. Now, we need to know what an iambic feet is. In an iambic foot, an unstressed syllable is followed by a stressed one. That is to say, we first meet an unaccented syllable, then an accented one. For example, when we pronounce the word "rewrite", we must note that the syllable "write" is given the accent. However, in "rewrite", "write" is the root or the kernel word. Now I suppose that we have got a hang of it. Let's come back to the main discussion. Sonnets can be of three subgenres, namely, the Petrarchan sonnet, the Spenserian sonnet and the Shakespearean sonnet. The Petrarchan sonnet has an octet and a sestet. The octet or octave carries a comparison. The sestet brings out the true meaning. It has the rhyme scheme of either abba abba cde cde...

In the Old Testament of the Holy Bible , we get a number of worship thoughts. Some of them are the followings: 1. We reap what we sow-- As we sow, so shall we reap. This is evident in all the chapters of the Old Testament. For example, in the Book of Genesis , Esau and Isaac were cheated by Jacob. The latter stole the first blessings from their father, Isaac, wearing goat skin. Again, we come to know later on that Jacob was also cheated by his sons. We learn that God pays us in the same coin. 2. Believe in one God-- The Old Testament holds that there is only one God, I AM or Yahweh or Jehovah. We should worship none but Him. 3. Surrender yourself to God-- If we submit to God kneeling down at least once, He can't stay away from us. He is our Eternal Father who loves us most. God created man in His own image. Moreover, He gave His only son, Lord Jesus, to die on the Cross to redeem mankind. 4. Follow the Ten Commandments-- We come across the Ten Commandments in ...

Let us try to explain the truth below-- 3. The individual who prophesies or predicts the future, in the presence of the Holy Spirit, gives people and the congregation lots of teachings, arousing a direct urge to feel divine bliss and comfort. Here we come to realize the difference between a man who speaks with "an unknown  tongue" and a true prophet. 4. Therefore, whoever speaks in an unknown tongue or without consciousness that the Holy Spirit is working within him, teaches and lessons himself for further spiritual upliftment. However, a prophet is much conscious that the Holy Spirit is wor...
