No.

An English sonnet is 14 lines, iambic pentameter with a rhyme scheme of:

ABAB CDCD EFEF GG

An Italian sonnet is 14 lines, iambic pentameter with a rhyme scheme of:

ABBA ABBA CDECDE

The closest poem to being a sonnet that does not follow this pattern is Ezra Pound's "In a Station of the Metro". It's 14 Words, broken with a semi-colon at the volta(after 8th Word).
