The Sonnets Response 2

After finishing the rest of The Sonnets, I was able to get a better understanding of the methods used in writing, however, I am still not able to understand much of it. The sonnets included in the book don't call much attention to the point of standing out to me. Sonnet LXXX was the only sonnet that I had marked as significant. It struck me because of the lines repeating one another such as "Bearden is dead, Gallup is dead, Margie is dead." Following through later with "he shot me" helps paint a picture of what took place. Unless a reader sees lines such as these, the sonnet could almost be a waste of space. I personally don't understand the creativity that is suggested in these sonnets.
