Poems that often follow iambic pentameter, the format has evolved over the centuries. Shakespeare is one of the most famous, along with John Milton and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Also done in Italian and French, they typically rhyme and have a specific pattern of emphasis on the lines.

Depth of knowledge and understanding. Talk about your true love of first kiss, or the people around you hussling and bussling noisly. What about the trees 'whispering in the wind?' And don't forget, it doesn't necessarily have to rhyme (: write about what you know and use your imagination. Good luck! Hope this helps!

How many sonnets are in Shakespeare famous sonnet series?
There are at least three sonnets in Romeo and Juliet. The prologue to Act One is a sonnet, as is the prologue to Act Two. Romeo and Juliet also create a unique two person sonnet in Act One, Scene Five starting where Romeo says "If I profane with my unworthiest hand" (Romeo 1.5.91) and ending with "Then move not while my prayer's effect I take" (Romeo 1.5.104).
Did William Shakespeare publish his sonnets?
Some people say that he did, some people say not. But the pure evidence is unknown, like Shakespeare's life himself, he was very private so we don't have alot of evidence to say.
It's unlikely that Shakespeare himself had any of his own plays published for the simple fact that it was expensive and there would have been no reason to. People didn't publish things back then unless there was a strong market for something, particularly playwrights - publishing a play meant that it could be performed without you. Plays generally weren't extensively read or printed back then, they existed mostly as performance. It was only people who had a real passion for theatre that would buy a printed play in quarto or octavo form. Shakespeare's first folio was only the second time an English playwright had his plays published in folio (the most expensive way to print) ever - and that was after he was dead. Publishing was a VERY expensive and time consuming process. Some of the earlier quartos (the "bad" quartos) that were printed are, in many opinions, constructed from the memories of actors who performed in Shakespeare's plays. They were printed so that the plays could be taken out with acting troupes who were forced to ply their trade abroad when the theatres closed due to plague.
Most of Shakespeare's plays were published for the first time in 1623 when William Jaggard and Edward Blount managed to get the rights (there were copyrights of sorts back then, though they mostly applied to the ownership of the manuscripts at that point) and the help of those who knew and worked with Shakespeare. They were only published after it was clear that Shakespeare would remain a legend after his death.
How many syllables are there in a line of Shakespearean blank verse?
It may appear to some a misnomer
To call something blank verse when it does not
On most occasions rhyme at ends of lines.
But what is key and easy to observe
Is that iambic rhythm must prevail
With only five feet found in any line.
This rhythm always sounds a lot like this:
Ta-DUM ta-DUM ta-DUM ta-DUM ta-DUM;
Read it out loud, I swear you'll soon be sure
To recognize it when it does appear.
Is the line 'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day' by Shakespeare?
It is a sentence in English, using modern words except the obsolete (but still used) pronoun "thee", for which we can substitute "you". It means "Shall I compare you to a summer's day?" If that is not clear, you need a lesson in how to read English, which means you don't understand my answer either.
How Shakespeare has condemned the dark lady in Sonnet 130?
Several candidates have been proposed over the years. To date we have insufficient information to be confident of any identification.
However, the most realistic candidate (whose circumstances are consistent with the larger biography discernible in Shakespeare's Sonnets - see related link below) is Emilia Bassano.
Who is the speaker in Sonnet 130?
Probably Shakespeare.
The description of the mistress is consistent with detail elsewhere in the Sonnets and there is good evidence that the latter are essentially autobiography. For more on this concept read The Biography in Shakespeare's Sonnetsat the link below.
Are there any archaic words in sonnet 116?
Sonnet 116 (archaic words are italicized and bold):
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
The words themselves are not exactly archaic, but the use the Bard puts them to here is a bit so. A bark is a ship. A compass here refers to the gadget in a geometry set, not the magnetic thing for determining direction. "Within one's compass" means within a circle drawn with you in the centre, but is here used figuratively. Writ is here used instead of "wrote".
Why did Shakespeare write sonnets?
In 1952 and 1953 the plague in London was so severe that the theaters were closed, so Shakespeare seemed to have turned his creative energies to poetry as a result. He wrote his long poem Venus and Adonis at this time and maybe sonnets as well.
What is the title of sonnet 18?
Shakespeare's 18th Sonnet is Shall I Compare thee to a summer's day?
It goes like this:
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.
It's the best sonnet ever written for a start. These days everything as to be gay but I'm sure this sonnet is about a man charming a woman.
Here is a link to the words on a image http://www.insetdesigns.com/william-shakespeare/sonnet18.html
Hope you agree?
it is only a opinion but at least i leave other peoples opinion's here and not deleting them, leaving only there opinion, which others seem to do?
no one can truly know what was meant, so there will be many views unless someone decides only to leave there opinion for you to read!

It is not a love sonnet as many imagine, but a reflection that beauty when shown "in eternal lines" lasts longer than beauty in real life. It is generally thought to be written to a handsome young man, but it makes sense also if addressed to a young woman. Either way it is not an expression of desire.
What is the meaning of bark in line 7 of Shakespeare's Sonnet 116?
A bark is a kind of ship. A ship "wandering" about in the ocean could use stars like the north star to figure out which way they were going so as to steer a correct course. Hence "the star to every wandering bark" is something which gives you direction.
What is the first line of Shakespeares sonnet?
From fairest creatures we desire increase,
That thereby beauty's rose might never die,
But as the riper should by time decease,
His tender heir might bear his memory:
But thou contracted to thine own bright eyes,
Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel,
Making a famine where abundance lies,
Thy self thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel:
Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament,
And only herald to the gaudy spring,
Within thine own bud buriest thy content,
And tender churl mak'st waste in niggarding:
Pity the world, or else this glutton be,
To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.

Which sonnet of William shakespeare best shows the love for his subject?
The best love sonnet is "How Do I Love Thee" ....let me count the ways... by Emily Dickinson.
What is the prologue by anne bradstreet about?
It is about her frustration with Puritan society with regards to the place of women. In my favorite verse it becomes clear: “I am obnoxious (vulnerable) to each carping (scornful) tongue/ Who says my hand a needle better fits./ A Poet's Pen all scorn I should thus wrong,/ For such despite they cast on female wits./ If what I do prove well, it won't advance,/ They'll say it's stol'n, or else it was by chance.” She is saying that everyone is telling her that she shouldn't be doing something that is considered unfeminine such as writing poetry. They are telling her that she should be sewing or cooking. And if she does do well with her poetry it won't matter because she is a woman. They will say she stole it from a man or it was just by chance. the preface or introduction to a literay work.
Simply put, because of their contributions in World War I, politicians could no longer ignor the women's demands for the right to vote. So in September 1918, Woodrow Wilson asked Congress to pass a constitutional amendment saying that all U.S. citizens 21 or older could vote, regardless of gender.:-)
Votes for women were first seriously proposed in the United States in July, 1848, at the Seneca Falls Woman's Rights Convention organized by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. One woman who attended that convention was Charlotte Woodward. She was nineteen at the time. In 1920, when women finally won the vote throughout the nation, Charlotte Woodward was the only participant in the 1848 Convention who was still alive to be able to vote, though she was apparently too ill to actually cast a ballot.
Some battles for woman suffrage were won state-by-state by the early 20th century. Alice Paul and the National Women's Party began using more radical tactics to work for a federal suffrage amendment to the Constitution: picketing the White House, staging large suffrage marches and demonstrations, going to jail. Thousands of ordinary women took part in these -- a family legend is that my grandmother was one of a number of women who chained themselves to a courthouse door in Minneapolis during this period.
In 1913, Paul led a march of eight thousand participants on President Woodrow Wilson's inauguration day. (Half a million spectators watched; two hundred were injured in the violence that broke out.) During Wilson's second inaugural in 1917, Paul led a march around the White House.
Opposed by a well-organized and well-funded anti-suffrage movement which argued that most women really didn't want the vote, and they were probably not qualified to exercise it anyway, women also used humor as a tactic. In 1915, writer Alice Duer Miller wrote,
Why We Don't Want Men to Vote- Because man's place is in the army.
- Because no really manly man wants to settle any question otherwise than by fighting about it.
- Because if men should adopt peaceable methods women will no longer look up to them.
- Because men will lose their charm if they step out of their natural sphere and interest themselves in other matters than feats of arms, uniforms, and drums.
- Because men are too emotional to vote. Their conduct at baseball games and political conventions shows this, while their innate tendency to appeal to force renders them unfit for government.
During World War I, women took up jobs in factories to support the war, as well as taking more active roles in the war than in previous wars. After the war, even the more restrained National American Woman Suffrage Association, headed by Carrie Chapman Catt, took many opportunities to remind the President, and the Congress, that women's war work should be rewarded with recognition of their political equality. Wilson responded by beginning to support woman suffrage. In a speech on September 18, 1918, he said,
We have made partners of the women in this war. Shall we admit them only to a partnership of suffering and sacrifice and toil and not to a partnership of right?
Less than a year later, the House of Representatives passed, in a 304 to 90 vote, a proposed Amendment to the Constitution:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any States on Account of sex.
The Congress shall have the power by appropriate legislation to enforce the provisions of this article.
On June 4, 1919, the United States Senate also endorsed the Amendment, voting 56 to 25, and sending the amendment to the states.
Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan were the first states to pass the law; Georgia and Alabama rushed to pass rejections. The anti-suffrage forces, which included both men and women, were well-organized, and passage of the amendment was not easy.
When thirty-five of the necessary thirty-six states had ratified the amendment, the battle came to Nashville, Tennessee. Anti-suffrage and pro-suffrage forces from around the nation descended on the town. And on August 18, 1920, the final vote was scheduled.
One young legislator, 24 year old Harry Burn, had voted with the anti-suffrage forces to that time. But his mother had urged that he vote for the amendment and for suffrage. When he saw that the vote was very close, and with his anti-suffrage vote would be tied 48 to 48, he decided to vote as his mother had urged him: for the right of women to vote. And so on August 18, 1920, Tennessee became the 36th and deciding state to ratify.
Except that the anti-suffrage forces used parliamentary maneuvers to delay, trying to convert some of the pro-suffrage votes to their side. But eventually their tactics failed, and the governor sent the required notification of the ratification to Washington, D.C.
And so on August 26, 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution became law, and women could vote in the fall elections, including in the Presidential election.

How do you not smother someone?
Commonly represented by females as a sign of dominance or superiority, smothering is primarily a sexually orientated action which can involve a male, or female as the 'victim'.
The physical aspect of smothering can be achieved and is usually adopted by sitting on a person's face, typically nude or without underwear, generally in a reverse manner in which the victims nose is fully encapsulated between the buttocks, providing a sense of power for the person on top.
Also by squashing their nose up it tends to turn them on.Feel good.
This quotation is from Shakespeare's "Sonnet 116":
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which altereth when it alteration findeth,
Or bendeth with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looketh on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love altereth not with his brief hours and weeks,
But beareth it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
The meaning of the phrase in question, "Love is not live which altereth when it alteration findeth" simply means that it's not REALLY love if it changes when it encounters difficulties. This poem is eloquently showing how divorce makes a mockery of the wedding vows, which pledge unconditional love.
Shakespeare itemizes what people who are really in love do not do: they don't change. Their love remains strong even when they face difficult situations. Along the same line, he describes what true love IS: it's constant, unmovable, reliable. It's not weakend by difficulty or hard times.
Finally, love is not bound by youth and beauty. Your loved one will remain true even when you're no longer young and pretty. Love is forever.
