    We are trying to figure out if our poem is correctly done. How can we tell for sure?
    Community Answer
    Read it to yourself and then read it to someone else. If it sounds correct, well done. If not, try again.

    Shakespeare mostly focused on romantic love, but he also uses metaphors and personification, deep emotions, nature, and carefully crafted and articulate ideas to make his poems. All of these can translate into your poem.

    You could look up those old-fashioned words and learn how to use them. A bit of research should be enough to integrate them into your sonnet.
