Do you know what a "final couplet" is ? It's the last two lines of the poem. You would have saved yourself much time and trouble by simply finding a copy of the poem (it's readily available on the internet) and looking for the last two lines. The last two lines of Sonnet XLIII are "All days are nights to see till I see thee/ And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me."
"Nectar in a sieve" represents the pointlessness of having work without hope. After all, if you put nectar in a sieve, it all just goes through. So, the first line is saying that work needs a motivation, which would be hope. Otherwise no one would work. The second line on the other hand is about how hope can only survive if it has something to return. For example, you can't hope endlessly if there is no substance and work to back it up. This line I got in a debate with my friend about. That was my interpretation. My friend said that it means hope needs a person (which is the object) to be hoping. Otherwise hope wouldn't exist. All in all, the lines mean that work needs hope and hope needs work. At least, that's what I think =]

Yes, "Moonlight on Manila Bay" can be considered a good sonnet if it follows the traditional sonnet structure of 14 lines and a rhyme scheme (typically abab cdcd efef gg). Additionally, if the poem effectively conveys a theme or emotion within the confines of a sonnet, it can be deemed successful as a piece of work in that form.
The Italian poet Petrarch is often credited as the "father of the sonnet." He popularized the Petrarchan, or Italian, sonnet form, which consists of an octave followed by a sestet with a specific rhyme scheme. His work inspired later poets, including Shakespeare, to adopt and adapt the sonnet form.
Use a quick ball and hope- but if it doesn't work it will flee
No, rhyme is not necessary for a sonnet, but it is a common characteristic of traditional sonnets. Sonnets typically have a specific rhyme scheme that contributes to their structure and flow, but there are also variations, such as free verse sonnets, that do not strictly adhere to rhyme patterns. Ultimately, the use of rhyme in a sonnet depends on the poet's preference and the style they are working with.
"Work without Hope" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge explores the theme of despair and futility in the face of unending labor. The poem uses literary devices such as imagery and symbolism to convey a sense of hopelessness and monotony in the speaker's life. The analysis of the poem reveals a deep sense of resignation and melancholy, highlighting the idea that without hope, work becomes meaningless and draining.
No, "Romeo and Juliet" is not a sonnet. It is a tragedy play written by William Shakespeare in traditional verse form. Sonnets are 14-line poems with a specific rhyme scheme, while "Romeo and Juliet" is a longer dramatic work with prose and verse sections.
