Sonnets (as a whole) 3

I've not read all of the sonnets, but the one I know best is the one which I think is perhaps the most famous of them. In English Lit. back at High School we covered "Shall I compare thee to a Summers Day" and as an exercise in understanding how Shakespeare style of sonnet worked we were tasked with writing our own - I wrote one that is almost diametrically opposite to this called "Shall I compare thee to a Winter's Night?"

What I like about this sonnet is the way it uses analogies to tell the tale in such a way that it can have multiple meanings and it is up to the reader to interpret as they will.

Shall I compare thee to a Winters Night?

Shall I compare thee to a Winters Night?
Thou art more ugly and extreme:
Calm winds doth shake the hat’ed leaves with blight,
And lease of winter is all to long a dream;
Always too cold the ear of hells refusal,
And never is her silver skin brighten’d;
Sometimes by chance you look worse than usual,
By chance of nature that has dimm’d:
But your eternal coldness shall not fade,
Nor loose the cold for all can feel,
Nor would life brag it knows thee walks in shade,
When in eternal eyes note can seal,
So long as men can smell and see,
So long as this, this gives death to me.

(see, pretty much everything is opposite lol)
