The sonnet \u201cHow Do I Love Thee\u201d and the greeting card \u201cWhy do I Love you so much?\u201d speak of love. The sonnet comprises fourteen lines, while the greeting card has eleven lines, and the shortest line, \u201cAs well as my,\u201d doesn\u2019t catch the reader’s attention and has four syllables. The greeting card has some repetition, such as \u201cWhy Do I Love You So Much?\u201d used twice. The greeting card doesn\u2019t have rhymes, but the sonnet sometimes rhymes. There are a couple of examples of imagery in \u201cHow Do I Love Thee,\u201d such as \u201cI love thee to the depth and breadth and height\u201d also \u201cWith my lost saints. I love thee with the breath.\u201d In my opinion, I think the greeting card is more prose, while the sonnet is more concise or direct than the greeting card.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
