Shakespeare's sonnets vary in syntax by using a mix of complex and simple sentence structures, frequent use of enjambment (continuation of a sentence from one line to the next), and a unique rhyme scheme (abab cdcd efef gg). He also employs inversion and unusual Word order to achieve certain poetic effects in his sonnets.
