Contemporary & not serious. These are not sweet love poems. Shakespeare was not some love sick fool. His 'love' was his commitment to truth & beauty! He lived in a period of history where the Venetians were doing everything they could to destroy man's commitment to truth. Don't bend Shakespeare to your own random interpretations, figure out his intention.
Beautiful recitation. This is not an easy sonnet to hear at first listen. It's quickly over and doesn't give the listener time to absorb its depth if not properly read. You rise to the occasion. Excellent job.
