Rhyme scheme: ABAB Simile: none Metaphor: Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Imagery: Sound: “Rough winds do shake the darling buds of may.” Taste: None Smell: None Sight: “And often is his gold completion dimmed Touch: “Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines” Personification: “Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade” 1. The basic comparison that is made in this poem is between some person and a summer’s day. 2. The speaker in this poem is obviously showing affection to the person the poem was written about. words like “thou art more lovely and more temperate” Rhyme Scheme: ABAB Simile: None Metaphor: “Love is not all… sink and rise and sink and rise again” Imagery: Sound: “Even as I speak” Taste: None Smell: None Sight: “…Sink and rise and sink again” Touch: “Pinned down by pain and moaning for release” Personification: “Yet many a man is making friends with death” 1. I think that lines 4 and 12 are the most memorable because, in line 4 the repetition of the words sink and rise really make the reader understand that love is not the same as that, but its close. For line 12 it just seems deep, driven, by pain to sell one’s love to be at peace. 2. All of the things that are “not” love are all things that are necessary for survival. Food, drink, shelter, and the floating spar to a man in the ocean are all things we need. 4. The speaker feels that love is not necessary, but everyone feels that they must find it at some point in their lives. But at the same time it causes so much pain, that people would sell their memories of the love to have peace. 5. They do follow the same structure, they are both sonnets (obviously), they both are about love, and they both use the iambic parameter. 6. The opinion on love has always been the same, love (as said in the connect to your life section) is like a sickness, or a fire. It something that affects a person’s entire outlook on life. So yes, the poems talk about how love is more than floating on a spar in the ocean, that it causes deep pain that people, can sometimes want so badly to be removed, but can do nothing about. ** Clouds floating across a blue sky Waves drifting along a clear ocean Birds soaring up so high Earth spinning in endless motion

Music’s sound in the moonlight’s glow A Flower’s scent in the sunshine’s beams Stream’s trickling in a constant flow A Mountain’s grandeur in the winter’s dreams

Trembling limbs fail to steady Swirling thoughts without rest Pounding pulse races too speedy Stammering lips unable to express

Searching for words from Heaven above None can describe the heart’s passionate love
