Poem Response

One of the poems I found most challenging was "Let me not to the marriage of true minds" by William Shakesphere. You really have to pick apart each sentence and break down every word then put it back together to really understand what he is trying to say about true love. There are many metaphors he uses in this sonnett such as when he talks about "...the star to every wandering bark," you have to translate that bark is meaning ship, meaning the ships look to the stars for guidance. Stars never dissapear just like true love. It is something that is always constant. Just by that one line and translating it, you get so many different meanings to it and a real understanding of what the sonnett is all about.
