Comment from Frances Jean
Supported by a gorgeous picture, a beautifully portrayed poem obeying the requirements for an acrostic. You have included perfect rhyming, great imagery and some nice alliteration. I loved that you also made it a sonnet and explained in your author's notes the parameters of such. Well done Brooke and congratulations on your placement. Frances

Comment from MAMONIA
There's a first time for everything and I
never knew this was characteristic of an
English sonnet. Every day, I learn something
new from wonderful writers like you.
I understand now that first, a problem
then the solution at the end.
How magnificent your words.
You are truly blessed with a gift.

Oh, thou withering grass neath the snowy down. Can the greenery return to luster as it were before the dawn of winter? Where art thou faries that you may work your magic upon the dusty earth that neither grass nor flower has till this spring given birth. Must I beg of thee to show favor, or live with the king of weed and forever behold the dandelion? Oh, Queen of faries spare but a sprinkle of magic from thy hand, and let the green grass and flowers return to this land. M'Lady hast favored us all with this beauty of an All Time Best effort. Thanks for posting. Mike

Comment from Amfunny
Well, aren't you just the bundle of talent here... an acrostic AND a sonnet. LOL. Very nicely done. I am in the process of writing a fairy poem myself. Been busy setting up a new computer among other things. I enjoyed this very much. Very nicely done. :)

Michael, I don't want you to do an acrostic sonnet because you'll tell me you whipped it up in 15 minutes and then I'll have to slit my wrists. LOL Thank you :-) Brooke

Hi Brooke,
The art work and color scheme are gorgeous. I haven't seen an acrostic like this before, but enjoyed it very much. Beautiful rhyme and rhythm. Your poem flows nicely and I am glad there is hope at the end. Thank you for sharing.

You are so clever with your poetry (and knowledgable too!), that you can write an acrostic AND still fit it into the category of an English sonnet, AND make it rhyme so exquisitely. And then, still write a lovely piece which flows freely, has good rhythm and brings through that feeling of dispair about your lovely garden, then hope flows eternal, with growth beneath the fairy dust.
Loved it.
Warmest regards, Marijke
