English

Answer: The consistent rhythm softens the speaker's unkind words about the subject.

Explanation:

<em>Sonnet 130</em> <em>" My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun"</em> was written by William Shakespeare. In this poem, Shakespeare mocks other artists for their exaggeration while describing their lover's beauty. He describes his loved one in a more realistic way - he compares her to a number of things, but notes that she has nothing in common with them.

In all of his sonnets, Shakespeare uses iambic pentameter. This is a form which consists of five feet (the first syllable is unstressed while the second is stressed). The rhyme scheme is abab cdcd efef gg. The very consistency of the rhythm makes Shakespeare's strange comparisons less harsh.

I'm what way did romantic poetry differ from earlier forms
Reil [10]
I would Pick two. When poets show and explain the feeling of love Its mostly through words which speak from the strong emotions and experiences they had. Many types of love can be unexplainable through writing or seem kind of like a fairy tale. But each romantic poem differs from one another because its poets personal Emotions they share with another human being. Love as individuals isn't the same but has human caught up in such a powerful Emotion yet something we see as love.

Answer:The speaker describes the flowers as beautiful but also describes them as caged and plucked by people. He knows that they're the preferred option, but he'd rather be free as a weed than be wanted as a flower.

Explanation:

The flower and the weed symbolize two different lives and ways of being treated the speaker could choose, but he'd rather be free and alone than have a life a certain way.
