The theme of my sonnet is about refugees, it is a poem talking about how refugees make it so far from their original country to another country, they all have persistent, caring, and united heart, and I also mentioned that the refugees all carry an ordinary but mighty dream. Shakespeare sonnet 30 is talking about the poet’s friend, a young man who was the poet's redeemer and this theme continues in the above sonnet, moreover, the poem was talking about a man (the author), who could not seem to let go of his path, and it was painful.

In my Shakespearean sonnet, I used metaphor, simile, personification and symbolism for the figurative languages. In line 13, “Running horses, carrying love and hope”, I use horses to metaphor refugees, it was not the horses who carried love and hope, it was the refugees. In line 4, 5, I used simile to compare horses and refugees, I used horses to describe refugees, as they are persistent and united, just like running road hacks. I also have another simile in line 9, “Under scorching sun vivid as their dreams”, I compared their dream as bright as the scorching sun in the sky, to show how their dream was simple but great. In line 2, I used personification the heart would not keep moving, the heart desires to keep moving, it is the refugees who keep moving on. I used horses as a symbolism of refugees and the virtue refugees have, in line 4, 5, and 13. Horses had represented persistent for a long time, so I think it is a good symbolism for refugees who traveled a long way, and horses also symbolized united and caring in my sonnet. In Shakespeare sonnet 30, Shakespeare used exaggeration in line 5, “Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow” to describe his sorrow and sadness. He used personification in the next line, “For precious friends hid in death's dateless night”, which makes the poem more poetic and vivid. Shakespeare used simile in line 12, “Which I new pay as if not paid before.”, he described what he paid was
