Occitan sonnets have two quatrains and a sestet, with the rhyming scheme being abab abab cdcdcd. For example, curtal sonnets are proportionally shorter, a caudate sonnet has extra lines at the end, and Pushkin sonnets have different meters and rhyming schemes. These forms might have a different number of lines, use a different rhythmic meter or use a different rhyming scheme. There are many forms of sonnets that are variations of the traditional forms.
