The poems To Sleep by John Keats and The Pains of Sleep by Samuel Taylor Coleridge seem to discuss the joy and agony of sleep; however, the poetry reveals a deeper meaning than just sleep with insight into the events of each poet's life. Poetry is unique, each reader may have a different interpretation than the previous reader, and there is no such thing as a correct reading of a poem. The following poetry interpretation begins by discussing sleep; however, with evidence, this reading will prove to reveal a more substantial meaning that is strongly linked to the life of the poet in question. John Keats loved to play with many styles of poetry; for example, in To Sleep he uses the sonnet form (Behrens Len 530). Using the English sonnet as a model, Keats wrote To Sleep (Motion 126). The poem uses fourteen lines; each verse has ten syllables. The lines contain an unstressed rhyme pattern; or, more aptly called, iambic pentameter. The creation of three quatrains (each quatrain consists of four lines) ending with a rhyming couplet is also typical of the English sonnet. Traditionally, the rhyme scheme of an English sonnet is abab, cdcd, efef, gg; conversely, Keats creates a modification of this model using abab, cdcd, bc, fefe instead. For the poem to remain in sonnet form, it must include a physical appearance of a sonnet and describe a conflict within its quatrains; the final lines should resolve the conflict in the final verse. Each quatrain in Keats's poem deals with the different ways in which the speaker desires sleep (or death, which will be discussed later) or ways to bring his body to sleep. Keats ends To Sleep in a verse without rhyme, it doesn't concern me... middle of paper ......, Lawrence and Len Rosen. Writing and readings throughout the program.11e. Longman Pub Group, 2010. Print.
