Sonnet examples by students about rain
The poem begins with the speaker stating that there is a constant stream of rain pounding down on the roof of his “bleak hut.” His conditions are not good. ‘Rain’ by Edward Thomas describes a speaker’s relationship with death as he contemplates the future within the trenches of World War I. This is seen in the end words “sympathy” and “me.” There are also moments where individual lines rhyme with those not immediately preceding or following them. Thomas used the words “death” and “dead” and “die,” creating a link to the main theme of this piece. There is also repetition found at the endings of specific lines. In addition to the meter, a reader should take note of the utilization of the word “rain” throughout the eighteen lines, as it appears eight times. It gives the reader a greater sense of his own perspective. His choice to use this pattern helps emphasize the sound of rain beating on the roof of the hut he is sheltering in. This means the lines contain five sets of beats, the first of which is unstressed and the second stressed. The lines mostly conform to iambic pentameter, the most popular of rhythmic schemes. Thomas has chosen not to make use of a consistent pattern of rhyme but there is a metrical pattern and a great deal of repetition. The poem is made up of eighteen lines contained within one stanza of the text. I fell in love with this poem, and it has surely become my new favorite sonnet.‘ Rain’ by Edward Thomas was written in 1916 while Thomas was in the trenches, serving in World War I. What once filled the speaker with some kind of emotion, has left and now there is nothing left inside of them, just emptiness. later on, the sonnet then ends with, “I only know that the summer sang in me a little while, that in me sings no more.” This is extremely sad, it leaves me feeling empty.
SONNET EXAMPLES BY STUDENTS ABOUT RAIN FULL
And just the mention of rain brings on sadness and loneliness, not just rain, but the rain that is full of ghosts, these ghost could be the ghost of lovers past, or just another lonely spirits out there. That line continues with “…and what arms have lain under my head till morning but the rain is so full of ghost tonight…” Not only has the speaker slept with many men, not necessarily had sex with them, although may have with some, the speaker feels their absence. The first line of this sonnet is the same as the title, followed by, “I have forgotten,” is such a sad three word statement which could be taken as the speaker hasn’t been kissed in so long she doesn’t remember who she has kissed or, how I took it the speaker’s memory is stained with many different kisses from many different lads. I liked the sadness of this poem, I felt the sadness of this poem on a personal level. Of course it could, and most likely has a different meaning to me than the speaker or other readers. I think I understood this, but I’m not totally sure. My favorite sonnet out of the reading is one that specifically assigned to be read, What Lips My Lips have Kissed, and Where, and Why, written by Edna St. Then also finishing with not so much a rhyme scheme, just a few words rhyming here and there D E D F GG. In My Lady’s Presence Makes the Roses Red, by Henry Constable being with the pattern: A BB AA BB A C. The first few stanzas in Upon the Breeze She Spread Her Golden Hair, by Francesco Petrarch follows the A BB C rhyme pattern, then finishes with not really a pattern at all, A B C E A C. Bother poets uses these descriptions and comparisons nicely.Ī second connection I noticed is, the rhyme pattern. Constable uses the leaves, flowers, colors, blood, rain, and sun while Petrarch uses the wind/breeze, light, air, and sun.

Along with this connection, there is the connection of using nature as an analogy and a metaphor. Petrarch also uses the sun as an analogy saying, his lady is so powerful, she too can make flowers bloom as the sun does. Petrarch saying, this girl that he’s admiring, her voice is beautiful and makes him happy.

I can tell this by in Petrarch’s sonnet he says, “her words had then a sound that simple human voices lack a heavenly spirit, a living sun” In the sonnet written by Constable, he says, “The marigold the leaves abroad doth spread, because sun’s and her power is the same.” These are both very sweet compliments from a man of his lady. The connection I first noticed between these sonnets is, they are both written by, most likely, a man admiring a girl. I also chose, My Lady’s Presence Makes the Roses Red, written by Henry Constable.
