Petrified Petrarch Two hundred years had passed between the sonnets of Petrarch and the reign of Queen Elizabeth. As a form and structure for poetic life, the sonnet had grown hard. Fourteen lines of rhymed iambic pentameter remained pregnant with possibilities and vitality, but must the sense turn after the octave and resolve in the sestet? Love remained in some ways inexpressible without this basic verse form, but something wasn’t right. Too many rose red lips and too much snow white skin

The theme of love is presented in different ways by various poets through the use of diverse linguistic techniques, such as metaphorical and emotive language, and personification to express their strong viewpoints on love.

Shakespeare wrote many sonnets about love, largely in a traditional sense. However, his 130th sonnet takes a different theme: a relationship that is found through true friendship and love despite physical beauty standards. Shakespeare uses contrasting values, natural and divine imagery and contradictory statements to show that love is much more than just physical attraction. Sonnet #130 is filled with nature imagery: Shakespeare mentions the sun, coral, snow and roses, all things that are largely

To begin, both works are pretty comparable as they feature similar topics of love. Neruda's Sonnet and Brad Paisley's song both tell of the authors looking at other people throughout the day. Brad Paisley's "The World" has a verse that sings," To the teller down at the bank, You're just another checking account; To the plumber that came today, You're just another house; At the airport ticket counter, You're just another fare; At the beauty shop at the mall, Well you're just another head of hair,"

It can also be an unbreakable bond sustained through all the ups and downs faced in life, an everlasting feeling.

One particular 16th century writer, Sir Philip Sidney, wrote love sonnets that followed the relationship of the desire-ridden Astrophil and the object of his affection, Stella. Poetry at this time often had political or religious influences, and Sidney’s work was no exception. Focusing specifically on Sonnet 69,
