Standard Sonnets

The renown sonneteer Jose Rizal M. Reyes of the Philippines has suggested that there are three classes of sonnets, namely sonnets of the head, of the heart, and of the hand.

Sonnets of the hand, that those with some mechanistic feature or formulation that differentiates the sonnet by more than rhyme pattern, meter, line length of volta placement.

I have in this blog ,decided to refer to this class of sonnet, as "Gadget" sonnets, and leave the other sonnets classed a "standard" at this time.   I feel the distinction of sonnets by head and are are merely a matter of content and have nothing to do with sonnet form.

Here I will list those sonnets which most poet would consider standard, although their are some who will consider anything but English, French, and Italian to be otherwise.   Please weigh in if you find any here you think ought to be removed.
