WILD ROSES
Michael Flores Caasi

In the woods of dark fantasy
Inhabits pretty wild roses with blossoms of grand ecstasy and sweet, pleasant fragrant posies.
The thorny hands that guard the truth and hurt the prince who bravely dare
No ever single boastful youth can feel the virgin forest's care.
The purest white rose in the wild with scarlet one and blue as skies
Mesmerize glance in bushes hide
Wild roses that can blind the eyes.
These blooms await for fearless knight who’ll pick and hold them very tight

    Explication of Robert Frost's Mowing

    The speaker of the poem is the mower himself. It cannot be determined from the sonnet whether or not the speaker is actually male or female. His age is also undetermined, but we can assume that he is at least young enough to wield a scythe. After long periods of time, a scythe can easily fatigue someone, so I envision a man who is no older than fifty at the most. He has a high level awareness for nature and also believes in the poetry of nature. He does not seem to be addressing anyone in particular. It’s possible that he is only speaking to himself.…

    Sonnet 101 Research Paper

    Growing up in the digital world I always opted for sources like spark notes to help me bluff my way through school assignments. I was convinced all plays and poems were irrelevant and were an unnecessary part of high school education. It wasn’t until I read William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet that I was converted. I became an addict. I was hooked by the art of his words. They flowed through my veins. I was amazed at how relatable his stories were – he broadened my thinking. Convinced nothing could beat the smooth words of Hamlet I pursued reading different genres of his writing. I was wrong. I found sonnets to be beautifully written and once again I became enthralled in his writing. With the wide variety of authors from Michael Drayton to John Donne, I was sure that they couldn’t be accurate and relevant in today’s society. Specifically Sonnet 130 and Sonnet 61 proved me wrong, again…

    How Did Shakespeare Use Sonnets In Romeo And Juliet

    The Shakespearean Sonnet in "Romeo and Juliet" [http://www.amazon.com/Romeo-Juliet-William-Shakespeare/dp/1844285200%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dzemanta-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1844285200] Shakespeare uses sonnets to express his feelings, expressions, and emotions regarding romance and tragedy, the main themes of his "Romeo and Juliet."

    Sonnet 138

    In order for a poem to be classified as a sonnet, it must meet certain structural requirements, and Sonnet 138, "When my love swears that she is made of truth," is a perfect example. Shakespeare employs the traditional rhyme scheme of the English sonnet, the poem is made up of three quatrains and a rhyming couplet, and iambic pentameter is the predominant meter. However, it would be an error to approach this poem as a traditional Shakespearean love sonnet. It is a ‘love' poem in the sense that a relationship between two lovers is the central theme, but the reader is offered a somewhat unexpected viewpoint. The stylistic constraints of the sonnet form are extremely advantageous here, for they serve as a backdrop against which the poem's content can be dramatically highlighted, as well as reinforcing the eventual impression that the poem describes an emotionally constraining relationship. In this essay I will investigate the tools with which Shakespeare constructs this unconventional love poem.…

    Sonnet 43

    If one were to ever receive a love poem, Shakespeare's Sonnet 43 would be and excellent poem to receive. The sonnet is addressed to the beloved of the speaker. The speaker talks about how the best thing he sees is upon the closing of his eyes, when he then pictures the beloved. The speaker talks about how the rest of the world is unworthy to look upon compared to the beloved. The speaker talks about how sleep is the best time, because that is when he can see the beloved in his dreams. Day is like night, dreary with waiting for the night to come, in order to see the beloved again. This sonnet is pretty much straight forward with what it says, but there are some examples of some literary techniques incorporated within the poem.…

    Sonnet 20

    Shakespeare is a name that is familiar to anyone who has a high school education, at the very least. What makes Shakespeare timeless and relevant to every generation since his, is that his works speak universal truths. But how well would he be received in today’s society if it were known that he was homosexual? Would our country’s homophobia change the way we appreciate Shakespeare’s work? In this essay I will argue that Shakespeare was indeed a homosexual. Although this is a radical conclusion, it is one that has been argued before. Acting under the premise that Shakespeare’s sonnets were published without his knowledge and consent, we can make the assumption that the speaker in his sonnets is the poetic persona, himself. Sonnet 20 is addressed to a man whom Shakespeare is in love with. With this in mind, Sonnet 20 is an admission of bisexuality at the very least and homosexuality at the most. Through Shakespeare’s combination of language and tone we can make the assumption that the poem is addressed to an androgynous male, most likely an actor from the theatre, whom Shakespeare loved.…

    Sonnet 130

    How do you express a feeling? Nothing can be more complicated in life then trying to give expression to a state of being. Feelings are convoluted and always in a constant state of change. Part of the way people express feelings is through art, such as painting or the use of written language. In Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 a unique expression of love is presented by the writer to his mistress. His use of metaphors and similes emphasize the contrast between the typical love poem and the more realistic view of his feelings towards his mistress.…

    Sonnet 116

    This sonnet consists on the defence of true love. The meaning of true love is described as an ever-fixed mark, something, a feeling that nothing can destroy. The first quatrain describes true love as unmoral and unchanging. True love can not be changed by its own nor allows itself to be changed even though the person who is loved changes. Shakespeare explains his thoughts on love. He defines true love as constant, an “ever-fixed mark”. If love is altered and shaken, it was never true love, since he explains that true love will never be shaken as if it was something that we couldn’t reach and touch, if we are able to reach it, it was never high enough and therefore never true love. In the second quatrain true love is compared to a star which guides people as if people where lost and could be all guided to the same place by this unreachable star. This star is described as unnatural and indescribable, something unknown although we seek it and feel it, we never reach it if it is really true. If this star disappears that means that it was never real, it was just an illusion: true love will never disappear. In Shakespeare’s time, science of stars had still not very much progressed, therefore he uses it as an example of something which we know nothing about, love is a mystery that we can feel and see but we know nothing about. This metaphor emphasises the constancy and…
