Sonnet Bref
Laying no claim to having originated the term, I have nonetheless personally designated 'sonnet bref' as: any 14-line piece with any standard or variant sonnet rhyme scheme... but - abbreviated in any recognizable meter - shorter than iambic tetrameter. Examples in the next post: ·······  ·······Slow down; things will go faster!
