Sonnet In Primary Colors
I really enjoyed reading each of the poems in different voices, personally, I chose voices of a famous actress and or actors causing for a good laugh as well. For Sonnet in Primary Colors, I use a Spanish accent, as Fredia was a Mexican artist, it is not as beautiful as she was but it was very fun. As a Spanish woman, I was telling the story of a beautiful young Mexican artist. The story of fatal events, she became a survivor, a mother, a lover and a voice. Emily Dickinson's I'm Nobody! Who are you? seemed to fit well with a British woman who enjoys a good gossip. Recreating the poem into a hairdresser conversation you could say. Emily speaks to her audience in her time, the future, the present; power and money will always have a hold on humans,

    Sonnet by bill Collins is a great example of modern day sonnets. The sonnet has everything that a sonnet should acquire to be considered a sonnet. In this sonnet Bill Collins seems to criticize the sonnet form of Shakespeare. Also, in the sonnet of Bill Collins he puts many allusions in his sonnets. For example, in the beginning of the sonnet where he mentions in an alliteration form in line 3 where you get the allusion of the story troy; to launch a little ship on love's storm-tossed seas.

Donne uses personification, metaphor and rhetorical question to demonstrate the deep personal meaning of the poem. Donne writes passionately about his feelings towards death. Donne has decided to include these three literary devices in his poem to create a more dramatic effect for his readers.…

    Sonnet 138

    • 1557 Words
    • 7 Pages

    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.…

    Emily Dickinson is said to be the best American writer ever. She broke down with the conventional style of writing poetry and created her own, containing ‘imperfect’ rhymes, irregular lines and stanzas, no proper punctuation, and capital letters (with no clear reason for the last thing). What makes Dickinson’s poetry so interesting? I would like to focus on her personality, themes of poems and interpret few of her poems to try to answer this question.…

    The ‘American Sonnet’ is not like any other sonnet, and is proud to be different. Billy Collins opens his sonnet by saying, “We do not speak like Petrarch, or wear a hat like Spenser, and it is not fourteen lines.” This illustrates straight from the beginning of the sonnet that he wants this sonnet to stand out as an original sonnet in terms or the writing techniques, the sonnet structure, and the elements used in it.…
