Is Rhyme necessary in a sonnet?
Several different rhyming schemes exist for sonnets, and one is required.
What is a sonnet 43 tells about?
One of the recurrent themes of Shakespeare's sonnets is how imagination is real (because it is with us all the time, it is part of who we are) while reality is largely imaginary (real things pass, or decay, or can be left behind us: most of what we think of as our reality is really made either of memory or anticipation).
In sonnet 43 Shakespeare considers how even though he is currently away from his true love (we do not know which true love this is: it may be the young man, but it could be either of the women) when he closes his eyes at night and goes to sleep s/he is there with him.
Shakespeare tells us how seeing his true love at night makes the dreamworld more important to him than the world of daytime (where s/he is not present). Then he closes the poem by reminding us (and himself) how the dreams will soon become reality, when he is with his love again.
Shakespeare spends almost all the poem convincing us that the dream is more substantial than the reality is - then ends by reminding us that the dream is just as insubstantial itself.

What is the rhyme scheme in shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Just look at the last words of each line: day, temperate, May, date, shines, dimm'd, declines, untrimm'd, fade, owest, shade, growest, see, thee. Then check to see which words rhyme with each other: "day" rhymes with "May", so we say that both of those lines have rhyme "a"; "temperate" and "date" rhyme so we call these two lines rhyme "b". Therefore the rhyme scheme of the first four lines is abab. You can figure out the rest in about two seconds: it's a typical Shakespearean sonnet.
Analysis of sonnet 34 by spenser?
Spenser's sonnet cycle, The Amoretti, shares in most of the sonnet cycles in its subject matter: a poet wooing in every possible way a Lady. Yet, Spenser's is somewhat different in that the Lady of the poem is not taken-it is not the classic courtly love narrative. She does play hard to get, so Spenser can engage in some of the courtly love motifs. The difference is that the sonnet cycle ends with the poet and the lady marrying. The final poem is an epithalmion, which is a poem in celebration of marriage.
Spenser's sonnets are, well, sweet, in the somewhat lovely and simple way in which he presents a "verbal picture." Each sonnet has a very clear, central metaphor that he develops. Therefore, his sonnets can be nice for close reading and interpreting for a paper.
SONNET 34
In this sonnet, Spenser uses another metaphorical "picture." This time, the picture the poet presents is himeslf as a ship lost at sea without his lover's love. Without his lover, he has no "star, that wont with her bright ray/ Me to direct," in other words, without her he has no guiding star, or north star. He has no compass to help him through "a storme." By line 11, he utters words of "hope," which is the important Protestant word in prayer. Meanwhile, as he hopes for her return, he must continue on, lost in a storm. Note also how we saw the image / metaphor of an individual lost at sea as far back as Anglo-Saxon poetry.
How does the speaker use natural imagery in the sonnet shall i compare thee to a summers day?

No sonnet is a limerick. Sonnets have 14 lines; limericks have 5. Sonnets are written in iambic pentameter; limericks have a characteristic rhythm consisting of two lines composed of an iamb and two spondees followed by two lines of an iamb followed by a spondee and a last line in the same rhythm as the first. Limericks always have the rhyme scheme aabba. Sonnets are usually ababcdcdefefgg or abbaabbacdecde or some similar scheme.

What was Shakespeare's longest sonnet?
All of Shakespeare's sonnets were the same length.
By its very nature a sonnet is only 14 lines long. Shakespeare adhered to what is now called the Elizabethan Sonnet structure. It is composed of three quatrains (four lines with an ABAB rhyme scheme) with a couplet (two ryhming lines, CC) at the end.
Thematically, there is generally a turn at the 9th line, a change in tone, voice or mood of the poem's speaker. The couplet tends to offer resolution or conclusion to the sonnet.
There are several other forms of sonnet, including the Petrachan, or Italian, which is made up of an octet followed by a sestet, or the Spensarian, named after Edmund Spenser, with its own elaborate rhyme scheme.
