Sonnets Assignment #1

Examine the difference between the rhyme scheme Spencer uses and the one Shakespeare uses. Explain the difference. Which one do you prefer? (If you are unable to give a good answer to this question, it is time to come talk to me.)

I definitely prefer Shakespeare's rhyme scheme. I think it is a little more systematic. Spencer's kind of stretches throughout the whole thing and I'm sure it would be a lot more difficult to write that way. There are more rhyming words and they must be harder to fit together and I don't think it flows as well.
