Sonnet 2

Sonnet 2 is addressing the man again to create life. I loved how Shakespeare used the line “deep trenches in thy beauty’s field,” to symbolizes the wrinkles in the man’s aging face. The speaker is saying how foolish he would be not to have children. The last couplet of the poem is pretty powerful. It describes seeing life in the youth when there is no longer youth in the man by saying “and see thy blood warm when thou feel’st it cold.” I feel as though that line really drives the point across that when the man is no longer living, his blood still will be in another human.
