In the poem “Daytime” by David Mason, the speaker comments on our constant need for technology specifically television. “An empty room, the television is on...” and “a silent baseball game above a bar” suggests how reliable we have become on T.V. that in some cases we're not even watching it, yet we still leave it on. In addition, the speaker implies that televisions are found almost everywhere in today's society, for example, in every house room, elevator, and even where “the baby’s fed” revealing our exposure to T.V. at an early age.

The title of the poem “My mistress eyes are nothing like the sun” suggests that the speaker is not in love with his ‘mistress’. However, this is not the case. Shakespeare uses figurative language by using criticizing hyperboles to mock the traditional love sonnet. Thus, showing not only that the ideal woman is not always a ‘goddess’, but mocking the way others write about love. Shakespeare proves that love can be written about and accomplished without the artificial and exuberant. The speaker’s tone is ironic, sarcastic, and comical turning the traditional conceit around using satire. The traditional iambic pentameter rhyming scheme of the sonnet makes the diction fall into place as relaxed, truthful, and with elegance in the easy flowing verse. In turn, making this sonnet one of parody and real love.
