Beautifully crafted, Connie. You have written excellent sonnets, and the finesse you have honed there you have applied here, making this difficult form appear easy. I love the word "sonorous", the line "Stilled in awe of its themes", the way you rhymed the last 2 lines, and your salute to Shakespeare. Blessings to you and congrats for your win. Hugs ~ John

My granddaughter tells me she wants more attention and to stop spending time with poetry so I will have to oblige. I love sonnets I just don’t feel that I write them well yet. I will catch up later. Thank you. Blessings xxoo

I had to tip my hat to the master. Thank you Mike. I am growing to love the sonnet form that used to scare me away. Blessings xxoo

Hello Connie ... a sonnet is such a fine poetry formation but must be written in a typical sonnet style that you described to be fully enjoyed, and you follow to perfection - thank you Connie - Lindsay

I agree….that is what makes them so challenging. Many write couplets and call them sonnets. I know I have made mistakes on different forms too and encourage someone to mention it when I do. Thank you for your insightful comment Lindsay. Blessings xxoo

Very beautiful description, Connie. And our beloved Shakespeare, through his sonnets, the very soul of humanity, with all is good and evil, gave us the perfect blueprints for profound, honest expression. Love this write! Best of luck in contest. Joe.

Thank you Valsa. Poetry was the highly valued entertainment of the day in ancient times. Now days many make fun of poetry they don’t understand. I appreciate you leaving me a comment in your morning and my night. Blessings xxoo

Your poetry is as classy and timeless as the sonnet itself, this flows so gracefully and I also like the creativity of the wording, this looks like it has an excellent chance to win!
