The poem “Why Do I Love You So Much” is an expression of the speakers feelings of love and trust for someone. The poem is constructed in short lines with a tone that really reflects the intimacy of a relationship. When talking about imagery this poem shows that clearly to convey the speakers emotions. For example the lines “to remind how to laugh” and “favorite memories”. On the other hand, “How Do I love Thee” by Browning Sonnet is a poem that expresses the speakers affection for a summer day. This poem uses figurative language and imagery to compare affection to a summer day. The line “Thou art more lovely and more temperate” compares the person to a summer day that is not too hot or too cold. In my opinion, both poems use imagery to convey emotions and ideas. As well as expressing feelings of love and admiration to an figure or object like a summer day or a person.

I agree that both poems use images to express feelings and thoughts. Short sentences and an intimate tone used by the speaker in “Why Do I Love You So Much” definitely serve to convey their intense feelings of love and trust for the other person. In “How Do I Love Thee,” the speaker uses nice and effective metaphors and imagery to compare their love to a gorgeous summer day.
