The perfect time to celebrate Shakespeare love poems and other sonnets
For those who care for the poems of past, this year and the month of May can be considered as one of the best ways to relish these poems. And to be more exact, this is the time to show appreciation once again to the great sonnet works of Shakespeare, Shakespeare being one of the big names when it comes to cute love poems and sonnets about love. But why is May a perfect time to celebrate love and cherish the poems of Shakespeare?
The year as the 400th year of Shakespeare’s sonnets and poems.
Well the third week of the month of May marks the 400th anniversary of the publication of Shakespeare’s sonnets. According to records, the first edition of the sonnets which include some great poems was released on May 20, 1609 and this was made possible by Thomas Thorpe. Other sources will zero-in on a different date, but still they are one in saying that the first edition of the master’s sonnets was published in 1609, thus the year 2009 marks the 400th year of the sonnet’s existence. After 400 years of being published, Shakespeare words as used on his poems remain true, popular and continues to promote love. And the question is, will there be modern words as well that can lasts for the next 400 years and match the longevity of the words and the poems of this great master?
What are sonnets and love poems?
As a lead off to the celebration, some Shakespearean scholars have noted that Thorpe may have released the poems and the sonnets of Shakespeare without the consent of the author. But whether or not there was consent, the important thing is that the precious gems of Shakespeare in the form of sonnets and poems has been made available and has inspired many generations of lovers. The sonnets of the poet are actually forms of poems, and these sonnets are considered as the most common forms of poetry. Sonnets that talk of love, called love poems in general are poems composed of thirteen lines and these poems contain a set rhyme and arranged in a logical structure. But perhaps the best description for these sonnets is that these sonnets are associated with love poetry and as such they are known as love poems. Poems in the form of sonnets are known to use the poetic diction that is based more on vivid imagery.
Reasons why sonnets and love poems of Shakespeare and other masters stand the test of time.
And the best known poems and sonnets are the ones written by Shakespeare. The sonnets and poems of Shakespeare introduced many generations of lovers to timeless poems’ lines. Lovers and couples who know their poems know these lines’ “shall I compare thee to a summer’s day” or perhaps the more vivid “remembrance of things past”. Poems of this celebrated poet contain lines that express many thoughts about love and even betrayal. Sonnets and poems that talk about love are considered as the most personal poems around, may be because these poems addresses one of the most important emotions known to man- to love. These kinds of poems are here to stay, as long as man continues to love. Just look at the works of Shakespeare- it continues to make the romantics’ heart beat faster even after 400 years…

Frequently Asked Questions...
What does the poem No by Thomas Hood mostly about?
Descibe the contents and the meaning of the poem. Do you agree about November is a no month. Why?
Answer:
I just read the poem for the first time after seeing your question. My first impression was that the theme of this poem had to do with the idea that without certain things in this world, other things would cease to exist. For example, with no pain and suffering, one would never know the feelings of happiness and joy. However, after reading the end of the poem where he throws us the twist of "november", I threw my theory out the window. Now, although I wouldn't presume to say what was in his head when he wrote it, I'm more inclined to think it was written as simply a clever play on words, rather than to have a real deep meaning as some poems do. However, it is my personal opinion that the artist's meaning for a piece is no where near as important as the viewer's interpretation of it. What you see, how it makes you feel, how it relates to you... So, now I ask you, what do You think the poem No by Thomas Hood is about?
