John Donne’s metaphysical poem and sonnet, “Holy Sonnets: Death, Be Not Proud,” follows a Petrarchan rhyme scheme as seen in the first eight lines: a/b/b/a/a/b/b/a. Unlike the quintessential sestet of c/e/f/g/e/f, the sestet of this sonnet has a c/d/d/c/a/a rhyme scheme. The use of a Petrarchan rhyme scheme is appropriate because the first twelve lines

objectified by men. The poem has 7 stanzas with 4 lines each, showing a sense of balancement within the poem and the speaker. However, even though the poem looks like it follows a rhyme scheme, it does not. The first four stanzas have a rhyme scheme differing from one another and the last three stanzas have no rhyme scheme at all. This could connect to the idea of relationships and the idea of appearance vs. reality. In other words, a relationship might not be what it looks like, and could question

However, these sonnets differ in the tone in which they are written, the speed at which they are intended to be read, and their rhyme scheme. The British sonnets “To Sleep” and “Come Sleep! O Sleep, the certain knot of peace” are very similar in their subject matter and use of literary techniques, but are quite different in their tone, designed reading speed and rhyme scheme. The British sonnets “To Sleep” and “Come Sleep! O Sleep, the certain knot of peace” contain many similarities. Perhaps the two

each work holds no deeper meaning than a description of what is to follow with the exception of ‘Design.’ Finally, each author structured their own work in some ways that are similar to one and another, for example, the use of such devices as rhyme schemes can be found in all three of

In “Shall I compare Thee to A Summer’s Day”, William Shakespeare compares his love interest to the beauty of summer. “Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer’s Day”, is a Shakespearean Sonnet. The poem is written in iambic pentameter, a rhyme scheme where each line consists of ten syllables that are divided into five pairs called iambs. An iamb is a metrical unit made up of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable. Common in many of Shakespeare’s poems, the iambic pentameter gives the poem

Have you ever had them days where you’re so upset, but don’t want to tell anyone about it? I certainly have, and fortunately I found a way to express myself comfortablely; writing song lyrics. This may sound cliche but writing lyrics has always been a big stress reliever for me when i’m feeling rather down. According to my mom, when I was 4, I would hum when I was upset and by age 6, I started writing song lyrics about how I was upset and why. I feel writing song lyrics has helped me come a long

thief. There is a simple rhyme scheme that adds a melodic feeling. All Along the Watchtower is composed within a simple, closed form. The poem contains three quatrain stanzas. Within each stanza are two couplets. Bob Dylan uses a consistent AABB rhyme scheme throughout each stanza. For example, in the first stanza the first line ends with thief and the second ends with relief. The third line ends with earth and the fourth ends with worth.

The four poets from War Photographer, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night, Havisham, The Laboratory, My Last Duchess and On My First Sonne have all crafted very emotion based poems, all 6 present strong feelings. Some through manic speech and rhythm, others through a deeper meaning. I would say the majority of these poems (Havisham, Duchess, Laboratory and Photographer) all feature protagonists with mental disorders, after or during certain situations. My Last Duchess by Robert Browning is about
