this Sonnet shows the contrast between the tranquillity and comfort of the embassy lawns and the misery and death that will be meted out by the armies that anticipate the signal the last two lines of the poem describe the consequences of war that is the disintegration of the family as young men are slain leaving behind the women a nd children who are defenceless.
Traditionally, English poets employ iambic pentameter when writing sonnets, but not all English sonnets have the same metrical structure: the first sonnet in Sir Philip Sidney's sequence Astrophel and Stella, for example, has 12 syllables: it is iambic hexameters, albeit with a turned first foot in several lines. In the Romance languages, the hendecasyllable and Alexandrine are the most widely used metres.

The devices used in "Sonnets of China XV" include personification, imagery, and sensory language. Personification is evident in the comparison of the moon to a boat. Imagery is used to create vivid mental pictures, such as the water "champing at the shore." Sensory language appeals to the reader's senses, making the poem more engaging and evocative.
XV is 15 in "roman" numerals.
XV = 15
First calculate XV (15) squared then multiply this by XV which in effect is XV cubed. XV squared = X(XV)+V(XV) Multiplying out the brackets = CL+LXXV When simplified = CCXXV XV times CCXXV = X(CCXXV)+V(CCXXV) Multiplying out the brackets = MMCCL+DDLLXXV When simplified = MMMCCCLXXV Therefore XV cubed = MMMCCCLXXV (3375) David Gambell, Merseyside, England.
