More Ideas to help you prepare your own answer: Cue Card Topic: Describe a poem/literary work that you really like. 1. The Sonnet 18 of Shakespeare is my favourite poem. I first read it on a book of Sonnets by Shakespeare. The sonnet has something different in it. I liked it for some reasons. The sonnet is about compassion for a woman and the author is comparing the beloved to seasons. Everything changes during the seasons. But the beauty of the beloved will never be changed to the author. I turned emotional by reading the sonnet. It described the love towards the beloved in a unique manner. 2. Very recently I have read a love poem by Elaine Chetty. The poem is about love and titles – Love So Amazing. I first read the poem on a literary website while browsing to read some contemporary poems about love and romanticism. I like the poem because it is short but explained love in a different tone. The author of the poem loves each of his heartbeats. When I read the poem, I was overwhelmed with joy. In fact, the poem described my mental state with all the lines. 3. The literary works of John Donne are always inspiring to me. He is an English writer of the 16th century and Pseudo-Martyr is one of his prominent literary works. The prose contributed greatly that time to the religious pamphlet. I like the literary work because it created some debated at that time. Through this work, John Donne had influenced some elites who praised high of the work. I was a bit trouble to decide which side should I take – the church or the royal family. But later, I found that John Donne pointed out some specific issues there. 4. 'Things Fall Apart' is one of the most prominent literary work in the world by Chinua Achebe. I read the book first during my college days in New Zealand. I liked the book because it focused on the colonial impacts on some aboriginal people living in the certain part of the world. Their world changed for the penetration of the modernism in their society. My feelings were special after I read the book. I came to know about different interesting matters and manner about the aboriginal people. 5. 'The Divine Comedy' is a great resource for Italian literature. This is long narrative poem divided into three parts. It was authored by Dante Alighieri. I read first during last summer. In fact, I love to read poems and my dad inspired me to read it. I liked the travels that Dante made in three different places and their description was so lively that it appeared I also travelled with him. I felt overwhelmed with joy towards the travel to God.
