However, the two poems differ in their tone and attitude, one being cheerful and confident, the other is gloomy and despondent and at the end the reader realises that the points of the two poets are very different.In ‘The Sun Rising’, Donne teasingly criticises the rising sun for disturbing him and his lover lying in […]

Over hundreds of years, the views of poets have varied. There has always been the desire for physical love, but also there has always been the traditional idea of purity. Nowadays though there are fewer ‘everlasting loving’ poems and more ‘Carpe Diem’ based. This is a sign of a change in the world and the […]
In “Valentine”, Duffy uses the onion to give an original and, in some ways, a shocking view of love: “Not a red rose or a satin heart” – she ignores the cliches and opts for something more dramatic and powerful. This is the first line of the poem, and it automatically gives a negative impression, […]
Throughout history love has been a favoured theme with many poets in their writing. Carol Ann Duffy, (born 1958) tackles the issue of love in her poem “Valentine,” as does Percy Bysshe Shelly (1792-1822) in the poem “Love’s Philosophy,” and finally Robert Burns (1759-1796) considers the topic in “A Red Red Rose. ” As different […]

“Sonnet CXXX” by William Shakespeare was written to send a message to poets, telling them that sonnets do not have to be unrealistic; Shakespeare also mocks traditional Elizabethan sonnets.

This poem is about someone experiencing love for the first time. “I ne’er was struck before that hour With love so sudden and so sweet.” The poet compares the face of the woman to a flower “Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower.” He describes how the feeling of love affects him physically “my […]
