The flea and valentine are unconventional poems and in both poems a metaphor is running throughout the poem, as a comparision to love. Valentine has an irregular structure- this could show that their love is not consistent. The structure of the flea is consistent to show that their love and the feelings within the relationship are consistent.
Sonnet 130 and the flea don't use conventional language- you wouldn't immediately expect it to be about love, it could be about other things too. Sonnet 130 and valentine portray the message that you don't have to have sex to confirm your love. The flea portrays themes of taking something, whereas valentine is more portraying the theme of giving something.
