    following the rhyme scheme
    a-b-a-b c-d-c-d g-g.

    Shall I compare thee to a


    summers day?
    Shall I compare thee to a summers day?
    Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
    Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
    And summers lease hath all too short a date.
    Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
    And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
    And every fair from fair sometime declines,
    By chance, or natures changing course, untrimmed;
    But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
    Nor lose possession of that fair thou owst,
    Nor shall death brag thou wandrest in his shade,
    When in eternal lines to Time thou growst.
    So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
    So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
    William Shakespeare
    Poets.org. Academy of American Poets, n.d. Web. 28 Mar. 2016.

    Narrative: Epic Example


    An Epic is a form of poetry that tells a long story and can fill up pages and
    pages of writing, hence why it is called Epic.

    "Then, when the child of morning, rosy-fingered Dawn, appeared, I sent some
    men to Circe's house to fetch the body of Elpenor. We cut firewood from a wood
    where the headland jutted out into the sea, and after we had wept over him and
    lamented him we performed his funeral rites. When his body and armour had
    been burned to ashes, we raised a cairn, set a stone over it, and at the top of the
    cairn we fixed the oar that he had been used to row with.

    Hamlet: To be or not to be Excerpt


    To be, or not to be--that is the question:
    Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
    The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
    Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
    And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep-No more--and by a sleep to say we end
    The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
    That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation
    Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep-To sleep--perchance to dream: ay, there's the
    rub,
    For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
    When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
    Must give us pause.

    "Hamlet's Soliloquy." Hamlet's Soliloquy. N.p., n.d. Web. 29 Mar. 2016.

    Your task is to find anything that you believe you relate to the most and write
    a poem. USE METAPHOR.
