Q Assignment Post After reading "Learning the Sonnet" from this week, select one of the sonnets listed below and discuss how its form (meter and rhyme) contributes to its meaning. Your analysis should be at least two paragraphs long and should integrate a discussion of meter and rhyme. For your convenience, I've listed the poems here: Shakespearean Sonnets • Hall of RecordsLinks to an external site., by Peter SpagnuoloLinks to an external site. • As IsLinks to an external site., by Nicholas FriedmanLinks to an external site. • The CraftsmanLinks to an external site., by Marcus B.
