Question

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day by Howard Moss. What is the Poem saying?

Answer 1

It is a sonnet, not a poem. And it is saying exactly what you see. Could it be any clearer?

Answer 2

its talking about comparing a hot day to a hot girl

Answer 3

ok,summer as we all know is te hottest time of the year..and he is comparing some girl to a summers day by saying that she is very hot...it is just an ancient way of saying that a girl is hot or beautiful.

Answer 4

The title of the poem is the first line of one of William Shakespeare's most famous love sonnets.  Moss is saying the same thing Shakespeare says, but he's saying it in a jokier tone.  Here's a link to Shakespeare's poem, with a modern language translation.
