I'd like to know what is the crucial point of the sonnet:
Number of syllables? Rhyme? Fourteen lines? Or anything else?

How about W.C.Williams' "The Lonely Street" in page 20
of Selected Poems of WCW (New Direction Paperbook)?
It has fourteen lines; is it a sonnet?

And did WCW inveigh against sestina?

Do you not see now why I have been inveighing against the sonnet all these
years? And why it has been so violently defended?  Because it is a form
which does not admit of the slightest structural change in its composition.
