Detailed explanation-1: -The couplet is the final two lines. These lines rhyme. This is where you resolve or complete your poem. Many sonnets end with a final image in the couplet.
Detailed explanation-2: -A six-line stanza, or the final six lines of a 14-line Italian or Petrarchan sonnet. A sestet refers only to the final portion of a sonnet, otherwise the six-line stanza is known as a sexain.
Detailed explanation-3: -The octave typically introduces the theme or problem using a rhyme scheme of ABBAABBA. The sestet provides resolution for the poem and rhymes variously, but usually follows the schemes of CDECDE or CDCCDC.
Detailed explanation-4: -First, the octave forms the “proposition", which describes a “problem” or “question", followed by a sestet (two tercets) which proposes a “resolution". Typically, the ninth line initiates what is called the “turn", or “volta", which signals the move from proposition to resolution.
