    Poetry is generally used to tell a story whether it be about love or an epic adventure. Sonnets specifically tend to deal with complications that come with love. Billy Collins however decided to go a different route in his poem “Sonnet.” His poem is a lesson about the sonnet and how he believes the form needs to change. He does this by explaining the different forms of a sonnet, by adding in characters to support his claims, and by using figurative language to emphasize the changes he believes need to be made.…

    Marcus Frilette Aimee Busquet ENC 1102 February 6, 2016 An Analysis of: Billy Collins Sonnet “All we need is fourteen lines, well, thirteen now, and after this one just a dozen to launch a little ship on love 's storm-tossed seas, then only ten more left like rows of beans. How easily it goes unless you get Elizabethan and insist the iambic bongos must be played and rhymes positioned at the ends of lines, one for every station of the cross. But hang on here while we make the turn into the final six where all will be resolved, where longing and heartache will find an end, where Laura will tell Petrarch to put down his pen, take off those crazy medieval tights, blowout the lights, and come at last to bed.”…

    Modern Sonnets: Extending Beyond Petrarchan Idealism Through Lineation and Meter Historically, the sonnet is a form that expresses beauty, perfection, and ideals. While the Petrarchan blazon sonnet is focused exclusively on objectifying the female body, modern sonnets such as Alice Notley’s “Sonnet 15” and Claude McKay’s “The Castaways” veer away from that Petrarchan idealism. In “Sonnet 15”, Notley writes of the speaker’s heartbreak from a past relationship.…

    Secondly, the way that Shakespeare constantly refers to himself in progressively vaguer terms. Amongst the three quatrains, he starts with “I”, then “the hand”, and ends with “verse”. This progressively diminishes the thought of Shakespeare into just the written work he has created. Subliminally, the reader will only associate Shakespeare, and his death, with his written verses, making it harder to forget him. Ultimately, this sonnet successfully makes the reader think more about Shakespeare even when the lines protest for the…

    Sonnet 134, AnalysisNirantar YakthumbaBased on the persona’s love that is unreciprocated by his beloved, the Poet illustrates in this sonnet, an internal conflict in the persona. The wholly bitter tone establishes a holistically integrating theme of being torn apart for love and also an atmosphere of histrionic resentment engorged with Petrarch’s hyperbolized emotions. Divided into an octet and a sestet, which are respectively divided into two quatrains and two triplets, the sonnet follows a strict formula of end-stopped lines and medial caesurae: “I find no peace || and have no arms for war |” (l. 1); The use of lineation in this sonnet adds to the conflict in the poem as tropic figures of speech that insinuate a sense of paradox are used ubiquitously: oxymora and antitheses are used to contrast ideas separated by the medial caesurae; “My jailer opens not, nor locks the door,” (l. 5) gives further evidence to the point postulated, how can a jailer not lock yet not open a door simultaneously? The end-stopped lines and the medial caesurae suggest a sense of finality and possibly a disheveled state of emotion as the abrupt pauses break the flow of the recitation and reflect the disturbances in the persona’s emotions, to me the fact that the poem keeps cycling forward as the paradoxical wheel that it is, intimates an anguished…

    Williams Wordsworth, born into the unfairness of the world, saw only its beauty. Among his many famous works, This World Is Too Much With Us first published in 1807, shows insight on his love for nature and the frustration he feels against humanity for ignoring it. This new poetic composition spoke to those during the Industrial resolution who only enjoyed the materialistic things in life. Wordsworth uses metaphor, rhythm scheme/repetition, imagery, and allusion to convey his passion for nature as well as point out the human flaw of ignoring that around them. Unlike other romantic poets in this time period, Wordsworth speaks for nature, wanting to create poetry that reunited readers with their true feelings and emotions.…

    An Explication of Love: “Sonnet 130” Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 130” is a powerful poem that describes love as something based off of more than mere beauty. The poem depicts the speaker pointing out the many imperfections of his mistress. This is a far cry from the ideal women many poets depict. An English or Shakespearean sonnet consists of fourteen lines “composed of three quatrains and a terminal couplet in iambic pentameter with the rhyme pattern abab cdcd efef gg” (“Shakespearean sonnet”). In “Sonnet 130,” Shakespeare establishes a shifting tone through the quatrain structure, words that target the senses, and a repetition of words and poem structure that can be related to many aspects of love.…
