In his sonnets he focuses on love, lust, friendship, mortality, and immortality

33. The format of a sonnet 14 lines
Lyric poems (short poems with one speaker expressing thoughts and feelings)
Rhyme scheme:
ABAB

Ear-rhymes: rhymes in sound (like “increase” and “decrease”)
Eye-rhymes: rhymes in sight (like “compare” and “are”

35. Sonnets use Iambic Pentameter
Each line has 5 metric feet with alternately unstressed and stressed syllables
Each line is ten syllables long
The accent is always on the second syllable
By “iambic”, it means the rhythm goes from an unstressed syllable to a stressed one
This happens in words like: divine, caress, bizarre, and delight
The underlying beat, then, is like a heartbeat

Look at your notes, then decide: How is this line in iambic pentameter?
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
