The poems about love seem to be the stereotype of poems. Usually clichéd and over the top, filled with metaphors and sometimes seem old (either time period or writer). I think some of the poems we read fit this stereotype while others don’t. The Shakespeare poem started us off well with the metaphor of “the star to every wandering bark.” It was probably the hardest poem to read just because of its old style however it was still one of the more interesting poems. The next poem, To My Dear and Loving Husband is the kind of cliché, lovey-dovey kind of poem I think of when I hear ‘love poem.’ It has the metaphors, it seems obsessive and says the love will last forever. This type of poem reminds me of a young girl’s first boyfriend.
