This article tries to show the evolution of the famous poetic composition which is known as sonnet in the country with the most Spanish speakers, Mexico. As a common thread, it traces the rhythmic accents that have their origin in Italy and that offer many aspects in contemporary Mexican poetry. The hypothesis of the change from sapphic accent (in the fourth syllable) to emphatic (in the sixth syllable) points out that the rhythm that fell at the beginning of the verse is lagging in Spanish due to the conversion of rhythmic and antirhythmic accents in pursuit of a Castilian octasyllabic pattern, which reveals the qualitative analysis. Likewise, the validity that the sonnet continues to have after eight centuries shows the possibilities offered by a country where the avant-garde and neo-avant-garde movements of the 20th century extended the limits of the fourteen rhyming verses, so frequent but scarcely studied in recent years.

Palabras llave : sonnet; poetry; accent; rhythm; metric.
