Abstract

Word Sonnet, translated Soneto de uma palavra, is a variant of the traditional sonnet form. There are critics that are completely contrary to the title, since they consider the sonnet in its traditional form and the fact of maintaining fourteen lines would ensure the conventional structure than can be originally considered a sonnet. However, in essence, the structure of a poem composed in fourteen lines with a single word in each line shows up as something innovative. It is known that the flow of poetic art does not presuppose obstacles of structure and shape.
