Question:For great info and links re Sonnets click this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonnet

Choral poetry evolved in ancient Greece from lyric poetry (poetry written to music). It was originally performed with musical accompaniment at religious festivals and important family functions. Traditional choral poetry was performed by two groups of people who worked as a team to design, write, and musically perform an expressive poem. Modern choral poetry can be written to express feelings, opinions, points of view, etc. The poems are generally short and designed to be read aloud by two or more people in a group setting. Additionally, choral poetry can be adapted and performed using existing poetry and stories (in the public domain), such as select fables and nursery rhymes.
