The two poems “How Do I Love Thee” by Elizabeth Barrett Browning and the gift card “Why Do I Love You So Much”, are declarations of love written for loved ones. The sonnet has fourteen lines, while the greeting card has eleven lines. They begin with fairly simple questions that everyone has already had the opportunity to ask themselves. In Browning’s poem we have the presence of the hyperbole “I will love you better after death” which the author uses to reinforce the image of endless and limitless love while in the gift card , the author uses a list to tell us the reasons he loves his partner. The sonnet uses rhyme, formal language, and tone to emphasize what she is trying to communicate. On the other hand, the card simply states the reasons why he/she likes the person, having no tone, rhyme or anything else to grab the audience’s attention and also having a simple language and structure.
