Sonnet 18

Sonnet 18 is extremely familiar to me. I remember reading this sonnet in ninth or tenth grade. The teacher used it to show us an example of a sonnet and what it was. Back then, it didn’t mean much to me and I didn’t really think anything of it. Now, I find a deeper meaning in it and it makes sense going along with the other Shakespeare sonnets. The speaker is comparing a person to a summer’s day. The person he is speaking of is more lovely and better saying that his beauty will never die. I really like this poem because for the most part it is easy to get and overall beautiful. I love how he picks out summer’s flaws and says the person is better than that.
