SHAKESPEARE and OTHER Poetry...?

Question

i need a contemporary poem that is similar in theme to shakespere's sonnet 25...or a poem similar to sonnet 27...or 18. any one of them pleaseee

Answer 1

18 is "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day"
25 is "Let those who are in favor with their stars"
27 is "Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed"
There is not going to be an exact fit, but I found a few poems that have some of the ideas in #18. "August Night" by May Swenson from her "Another Animal: Poems" (1954), "Parts of Plenty" by Bernard Spencer, found in his book of poems "Aegean Islands and Other Poems" (1946), and "The Walk on the Beach" by John Gould Fletcher from his "Selected Poems" (1938).
Surprisingly, a poem similar to #18 was the hardest to find. Seldom do modern poets write a poem describing the beauty of their lover and now recorded in their poem, that beauty is eternal. It's just not a very modern sentiment, though there are heaps of poems about the effect of love upon them. Even when I found several that described their lover's beauty, none ended with saying having written about it the poem itself gave that beauty eternity. For modern poets its a bit presumptuous, I think because they often do not see civilization as a lasting thing.
#25 seems similar to a poem by Carl Sandburg called "At a Window" from "Chicago Poems" (1916). This is the only one I found online.:
AT A WINDOW

GIVE me hunger,
O you gods that sit and give
The world its orders.
Give me hunger, pain and want,
Shut me out with shame and failure
From your doors of gold and fame,
Give me your shabbiest, weariest hunger!

But leave me a little love,
A voice to speak to me in the day end,
A hand to touch me in the dark room
Breaking the long loneliness.
In the dusk of day-shapes
Blurring the sunset,
One little wandering, western star
Thrust out from the changing shores of shadow.
Let me go to the window,
Watch there the day-shapes of dusk
And wait and know the coming
Of a little love."

#27 is about someone travelling to reach his love, but not there yet, has to rest, and in his dreams keeps travelling toward his beloved. I found this poem by John Hall Wheelock named "Legend" that embodies the same ideas, with some small differences. You get the feeling that Shakespeare is writing about a particular person, and Wheelock, possibly about a love not found yet. But read it and see if it does not mimic much f the same sentiment.I found the poem in an anthology of "Modern Love Poems" but it originally appeared in a book of Wheelock's poetry called "The Black Panther" (1922). I don't consider Wheelock nearly that great a poet, and his writing to me is not very modern, but ask a librarian to help you find the poem. He is in a lot of anthologies.

Answer 2

This sonnet is a parody on the romance poems of his time, yet as for the rhyme scheme enjoying a roll in this I have not any ******* concept my buddy. I truly think of there is none and that persons only attempt to discover meaning in **** that has no meaning.
