The Rovi Sonnet was inspired by Ivor Hogg’s Ivorian sonnet form. As I like balance I have divided the sonnet into two septets the first being formed of a triplet and a quatrain, the second a quintain and a couplet. As Ivor set the Ivorian to consistent meter I will do the same here. As with the Ivorian sonnet the rhyme arrangement of the quintain can be in any order giving the following rhyme lay out
aba cdcd (abcde in any order) ee
As with the Ivorian sonnet the varying quintain gives a possible 120 different variations.
