Today’s poem is a Shakespearean sonnet. I really don’t think I need to say anything else because Shakespeare needs no introduction. I remember reading this in high school and loving it.<\/p>\n

Let me not to the marriage of true minds<\/i>
\nAdmit impediments. Love is not love<\/i>
\nWhich alters when it alteration finds,<\/i>
\nOr bends with the remover to remove.<\/i>
\nO no! it is an ever-fixed mark<\/i>
\nThat\u00a0 looks on tempests and is never shaken;<\/i>
\nIt is the star to every wand’ring bark,<\/i>
\nWhose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.<\/i>
\nLove’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks<\/i>
\nWithin his bending sickle’s compass come;<\/i>
\nLove alters not with his brief hours and weeks,<\/i>
\nBut bears it out even to the edge of doom.<\/i>
\nIf this be error and upon me prov’d,<\/i>
\nI never writ, nor no man ever lov’d.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
