Answer 1

this is quite a popular one:
(sonnet 18)
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

Answer 2

I like some by Edna St. Vincent Millay. Take a look at Sonnets 2, 31, and 42. [The edition cited below is only one of many. Her sonnets will be available at most libraries.]

Answer 3

Below is Shakespeare's Sonnet No. 30. In my opinion nothing compares to E.B. Browning's "SHALL I COMPARE THEE TO A SUMMERS DAY", but others obviously agree.

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long-since-cancell'd woe,
And moan th' expense of many a vanish'd sight:
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore ?bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end

Answer 4

Try "Sonnets from the Portuguese" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning--or, if you're in the mood for a challenge, Shakespeare's 35th, 78th, or 94th sonnets.

Answer 5

im not sure if you want a famous one or not but it looks like yu have some good famous ones so ill give you one i wrote for with littiture class, it kind off simple but is in proper form :
Whisper:

You whisper my name soft, a subtle kiss,
one hidden thought of breath unseen by all.
A breath of promise of life's wonton bliss,
of that, the heart’s one need before we fall.
Break ‘part your lips and sing me to your side,
come gather me with words of longing love.
Wait not for soon the heart of mine has died,
and long I’ll cry while watching you above.
So whisper once again the name I hold,
and let me come to you in an embrace.
Tell me that you will never leave untold,
as I peruse the contours of your face.
At last you whisper words and names akin,
and sing soft songs of love as we begin.
