Oh Shakespeare

So far out of every poem I have read for this class I have always enjoyed reading Shakespeare's the most. Why? Well I love how he always changes the complete attitude or tone of the poem in the last two lines, and I especially love his out take on "love". His thoughts differ from what most poets would write, which to me, sappy is boring. They are also not too difficult to comprehend, out of all the ones I have read so far I have always gotten almost a complete understanding of them after reading them a few times. Which is pretty impressive if you know me. 

My favorite one I have read is "My Mistress' Eyes". This one makes me so happy to read, because one: it is not sappy, well maybe it gets a little sappy towards the end, and two: the tone is a fun one to read, it sounds as if the speaker is saying "ha ha, I'm better then everyone else and here's why..", and three: I understood it the first time I read it; after I finished answering the questions I looked it up on Google to make sure I wasn't completely wrong and found out that my thoughts were pretty much the same as everyone else's (Self high-five).

I hope we mainly read Shakespeare, because let's face it, he is kind of awesome. He is really the only poet so far that makes me not want to bang my head on the table when I try to comprehend his writing.
