hi! i've been writing poems in shakespearean form. i've never paid attention to the volta until recently. i read that the volta is usually placed in the 9th line, or even 13th/14th line.
the question is, is it bad if i place the volta in the 5th line? i dont want to sound ranting by putting 8 lines of the problem, so i have 4 lines of the problem, 4 lines of hope (a way to solve the problem), 4 lines of settlement, 2 lines of conclusion.
