Next to of course God America I Sir Ahmad Salman Rushdie, a novelist, essayist and a Fellow of the British Royal Society of Literature, explains the purpose of poetry “[a] poet's work . . . [is] to name the unnamable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world and stop it from going to sleep” (“Salman Rushdie”).

John Donne’s Petrarchan sonnet “Wilt thou love God, as he thee? Then digest,” ruminates on the one-sidedness of God’s relationship with man—particularly by referencing a theme of royalty throughout the sonnet. Donne reminds his soul that Christ became a man even though man is not equal with God, who is so much greater. Certainly, this sonnet exhibits royally figurative language, a free-flowing syntax, and a subtly meditative tone to depict the depth of God the Father’s steadfast love for humanity

to the sonnet Hyla Brook, by Robert Frost is that it is about how there used to be a river and now it is all dried up, but the people who went to it before it dried up still appreciate it.

“When I Consider Every Thing that Grows,” is a Shakespearean sonnet, and it rhymes “ABAB CDCD EFEF GG.” The turn in the poem is at the last two lines.

work of his immediate predecessors, Sidney and Spenser. <br> <br>Shakespeare's sonnets are intensely personal and are records of his hopes and fears, love and friendships, infatuations and disillusions that in turn acquire a universal quality through their intensity. <br> <br>The vogue of the sonnet in the Elizabethan age was brief but was very intense. Sir Thomas Wyatt and The Earl of Surrey brought the Petrarchan sonnet to England and with that an admiration for lyrical poetry. This had major consequences

Betwixt Flesh and Spirit John Milton’s “When I consider how my light is spent” is a Petrarchan sonnet that was published in 1655. The sonnet portrays the speaker’s inability to use his “talent” and how he comes to the realization that God will welcome him with open arms, regardless of his short comings.

Literature can take readers on a journey to undiscovered lands. In “On First Looking into Chapman’s Homer,” Keats writes a Petrarchan sonnet that introduces a speaker captivated by Chapman’s translation of Homer’s works.

Shakespearean and Petrarchan sonnet forms to vividly portray his thoughts on the conflict between his longing to be immortal like the steadfast star, and his longing to be together with his love. The contrast between the loneliness of forever and the intenseness of the temporary are presented in the rich natural imagery and sensuous descriptions of his true wishes with Fanny Brawne.
