“And yet‚ by heaven‚ I think my love as rare…”‚ from William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130 (13). This is one of his most well-known sonnets and it also happens to be one of my favorite poems of all time. Shakespeare does not use words to falsify his mistress’ image; however‚ he uses them to tell the reality of her. This is what makes his love for her so special. She does not have to be perfect or even seem close to it for him to feel as he does about her. The use of diction‚ figurative language‚ and imagery

“Sonnet 71” is part of a sequence of sonnets that talk of the love surrounding a young man‚ then describes a love triangle‚ and then ends with the talk of a mysterious dark woman. “Sonnet 71” is a typical fourteen line sonnet with a ten syllable iambic pentameter; a five stress line.

Although all so far is described close to an Italian or Petrarchan sonnet‚ Shakespeare actually started his own form of sonnet writing

sonnets. The sonnets written by Shakespeare generally follow the path opened by Petrarch in this literary genre two centuries before.These are actually poem forms consisting of 14 lines‚ each with 10 stressed and unstressed syllables known as iambic pentameter‚ with a set rhyme scheme of: a b a b c d c d e f e f g g.

cummings. However‚ Cummings has struck the fine balance between maintaining traditional form and introducing radical reform. His sonnet ‘it may not always be so’ conforms to the conventional fourteen-line length‚ positioning of the volta and iambic pentameter rhythm of a sonnet; the allowances that Cummings has made in terms of conforming to traditional conventions has served the purpose of allowing his work to remain recognisable as a sonnet. This introduces the added dimension of what his audience

structured in an identifiable‚ categorical style with systematic stanzas and perfectly paired couplets. Some verses in “The Census-Taker” carry unstressed and stressed syllables‚ which echo the seemingly similar attempt in “The Wood Pile” at flawed iambic pentameter.

While most parents have a great deal of affection for their children‚ some parents express themselves through their actions. For children who grew up with affectionate parents it may seem hard to visualize what it would be like to have a secluded and strained relationship with them. And unfortunately some children grow up with cold distant parents who have little to no affection for
