A well-deserved win - and of course, a great sonnet with absolutely drop-dead lovely imagery; enhanced by Ms Van Buren.
Catkins bring back memories of my schoolmate - age 5, telling me - age 4 that catkins were caterpillars that had been hanged. Gruesome.

Beautiful and most fitting picture choice. Your descriptive word choice brings out the imagery of your work. Your rhyming scheme was really nice.

This is beautiful, and it was one of the many reasons I liked Shakespear so well. I got into him in HIghschool and read his plays and sonnets for several years thereafter.

    Thank you, uniqueauthor. I've written sonnets, but only now have paid closer attention to the internal form of argument that sets this apart. I'm glad it works. :)

reply by uniqueauthor on 08-Mar-2012
    You're welcome. Those who can write a true sonnet are so few, I would not deign to sit with them. Peace and luck to you.

A wonderful poem with depth of feeling and thought, reads aloud well, looks well, and I find no errors. I believe that the Sonnet allows the poet to truly shine. The confinement of the meter & rhyme make the poet ever aware that what he/she is writing is for prosperity a masterpiece in art.

    Thank you very much for this generous review, giovannimariatommaso. I know some balk at poetry with too many rules, but I think it makes me work a little smarter having to find a flow that overrides the form. It has even made my free verse better in the long run. :)

reply by giovannimariatommaso on 08-Mar-2012
    I believe it! Free Verse has its hidden rules that must be followed too.

This is a well-crafted sonnet--meets all the guidelines for rhyme and meter. You've movingly conveyed the theme (I think) that one can wait too long while hoping for perfection. Then winter of life comes. If I'm way off, let me know!

    You are exactly right, Janice. Thanks for the thoughtful reading and for the kind review.

Dear Bellydanser,
Beautifully executed in both metre and rhyme, with an excellent volta in the third stanza, this is how sonnets should be written. I love, too, the metaphor of the flow of seasons to depict life's journey. All in all a wonderful poem.
Regards
Reg
