The first sonnet (The Rainbow) was written by Ada Lovelace*.
The second sonnet (The Loom of Stars) was written by me, building on the style of the first sonnet.
The sonnet follows the rules of the Shakespearean sonnet:
A Shakespearean sonnet, also known as an English or
Elizabethan sonnet, is a 14-line poem written in iambic pentameter, with a specific rhyme scheme.
It typically features three quatrains (four-line stanzas) followed by a concluding verse (two-line stanza). The final verse often provides a resolution or a twist on the ideas presented in the quatrains.

* More information about Ada Lovelace:

Augusta Ada King (1815 - 1852) , Countess of Lovelace, also known as Ada Lovelace, was an English mathematician and writer chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. She was the first to recognize that the machine had applications beyond pure calculation.
She theorized that Babbage's machine had the potential to translate music, pictures and text into digital form. Her notes were respected and published in 1843, but the theory within was so revolutionary that it took over a century for it to be recognized as the first computer algorithm and Lovelace as the first computer programmer.

📜~The Rainbow~ A.A. Lovelace📜

Bow down in hope, in thanks, all ye who mourn;
Where'in that peerless arche of radiant hues
Surpassing earthly tints, - the storm subdues!
Of nature's strife and tears 'tis heaven-born,

To soothe the sad, the sinning, and forlorn;
A lovely loving token to infuse.
The hope, the faith, that pow'r divine endures
With latent good the woes by which we're torn.

'Tis like a sweet repentance of the skies,
To beckon all by sense of sin opprest,
Revealing harmony from tears and sighs!
A pledge: - that deep implanted in the breast

A hidden light may burn that never dies,
But bursts thro' clouds in purest hues exprest!

***

The Loom of Stars

Lift up thine eyes, where midnight’s veil is torn, 
And woven fires through boundless azure play;
Each silent ray a law’s unerring sway,
A pledge of light for souls by darkness worn.

Thus Thought, through vast design by Heaven borne,
May trace the chords on which the spheres obey,
And learn that Truth, though hid from mortal day,
Can soothe the heart that grief hath overworn.

For though the void seem mute to human ear,
Its frame is strung with harmonies unknown;
And whispering laws through starry deeps appear,
As threads of fate in golden measure shown.

So Reason’s lamp, through tempests still may guide,
Till dawn reveals the Truth we hold inside.
