Shakespeare Wrote his sonnets in this rhyme scheme!.

Secodly a sonnet should flow in a way to tell a story (Much like a Haiku does in japanese poetry) You have to use your emotions to tell the story!.
Keep the lines fairly short, like Shakespeare never said
"Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day in mid June when the flowers bloomed"
It was "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day"
