Answer 1

Love 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 Shakespears poetry but there are so many other poets out there who write great love poetry that is more realistic than Shakespears. Look up Frost or Browning, they are two of the most famous. Along the lines of Shakespear I like a poem by him that is called "Summer Leaves" but also I like some of his longer poems.

Answer 3

Let's face it: love poems often strike any but the parties involved as overly sentimental or, frankly, sappy. That's why this sonnet by Shakespeare is pleasing:

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak; yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound:
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

Answer 4

yeah? Google Shakespeare wrote in iambic pentameter - each line is a minimum of five words long. and super words even. Plus - Shakespeare's love poems weren't approximately love. They have been approximately writing.

Answer 5

My only comment is that the two Shakespeare sonnets, while excelent, are over done. If you want Shakespeare, look at some of his lesser known sonnets, particualry those direced at the "Dark Lady."

Answer 6

Not bad, but you could always use Browning's How Do I Love Thee - Let Me Count the Ways - Easy to understand.
