I am so sorry I do not have a 6 for this awesome, beautifully written sonnet. The imagery you convey and the rhythm and flow is just superb. This is a marvelous entry for this contest and I sincerely wish you all the best.

Comment from Dawn Munro
This is wonderful! (But then I know to expect no less from you...) It's elegant and almost musical in it's cadence, this sonnet, which is about the highest a poem can soar (especially this form) IMO - I loved it! I'm sorry I don't have a six for it! Good luck in the contest.

Steve;
-beautiful, simply marvelous reading your sonnet was like reading a professional piece of poetry. I enjoyed it immensely because of the style, format and how well it was written.
-Very good use of enjambment which is the running on of a thought and concepts and one stanza, line and couplet to the next without a syntactical break.
-The rhyming was truly excellent in each rhyming word was contingent to the meaning and concept of each line therefore making the rhythm flow smoothly.
-The rhythm was truly iambic pentameter well the timing, tempo and cadence all were helpful in making the reading clear, fluid and very easy.
-The imagery was more metaphorically expressive than and vividly descriptive: "But lo the slender thread of faith shines bright Intertwined with love and patience, trust and hope. a thousand craftsmen toiling through(alliteration) the night could never manufacture such a rope." A very clever metaphorical image that is truly expressive and demonstratively descriptive.
-Thank you for sharing and posting and may the good Lord be with you always, and especially good luck in the contest, Steve.

Comment from Gert sherwood
Hello author you want my interpretation well
To me it sounds like someone put themselves in a situation not being secure of what they are doing until they get a stronger faith, so they know they need not say--
My fortitude deserts me where I stand
upon the brink and wrestle nameless fears,
