1. still 14 lines, but only half of the number of syllables. in a standard sonnet, there are a total of 140 syllables, with 10 in each line. but in this new form, there are only 70 syllables, therefore half a sonnet,
2. in the original format, there are 10 syllables in each line, but here, only about half of the lines consist of 5 syllables each, and the other two stanzas are of 6 and 4 syllables in each line. in this sense, half a sonnet,
3. in a traditional sonnet, each line normally is comprised of 5 iambs (unstressed/stressed), but in this new form, only about half lines follow the unstressed/stressed rule, thus half a sonnet,
4. again in the old form, there are 7 rhyming pairs, but here about 3 or 3.5, again half a sonnet
haha
