Sonnet 29 is one of the sonnets written by English author William Shakespeare. In this poem, the author complains about his life as an outcast and a failure, common concerns among young men. He, however, then remembers his beloved, and realizes that he is indeed a lucky man.
This sonnet is written in a typical Shakespearean style: it consists of fourteen lines of iambic pentameter ending with a rhymed couplet. One of the most obvious characteristics of iambic pentameter is the fact that each line is composed of ten syllables. This is the way this sonnet is written as well.
