Sonnets

I personally don't enjoy reading sonnets especially shakespearian because I feel they are too hard to udersatnd. Though, i noticed that if i reread multiple times i can get the gist of the poem. After I finished reading shakespeare's 3oth sonnet, I was surprised to find it slightly intertaining for their hidden meanings that are unclear in our time. I find the structure a bit limiting because I don't see how proper ideas can be expressed in fourteen lines that should rhyme. Therefore, I don't feel that sonnets as a type of poem is the best way to express sentiments like longer peoms do.

i concure with ur concuring. wat u said is so true. their structure may be limiting but at the same time it is more interesting for the reader. therefore i concure with wat u said but disconcure with the fact that longer poems are better.
(P.S. i found ur comment to be enlighting
