>The word choice used by Shakespeare depicts the withering season of autumn by using the phrase "When yellow leaves, or none,or few do hang" and also when he wrote about the late songs of the birds. The time and season are important in this sonnet because fall is the season where everyhting is losing life and withering to their deaths. In this poem it talks about the death of a beloved. It is very possible that this particluar sonnet was written in view of his only son's death. Shakespeare's wording and the setting he chose for this poem help enhance his sonnet by showing a season that is corresponding to the subject of his poem.
