Answer:

The organizational pattern Elizabeth Browning's sonnets follow is the Italian (Petrarchan) one.

Explanation:

Petrarchan sonnet is a type of poem consisting of 14 lines divided into two stanzas, one with eight and the other with 6 lines. The rhyme scheme for the first stanza is ABBAABBA, while for the second one it is CDCDCD or CDECDE. Elizabeth Browning chose this type of sonnet to write. Let's take a look at one of her most famous sonnets:

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.  A

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height  B

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight  B

For the ends of being and ideal grace.  A

I love thee to the level of every day’s  A

Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.  B

I love thee freely, as men strive for right;  B

I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.  A

I love thee with the passion put to use  C

In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.  D

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose  C

With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,  D

Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,  C

I shall but love thee better after death. D
