Sorry for taking so long to read your poems. I was in the hospital for four month. As all ways you captured my attention from the first lie to the last.
Thank you for sharing

Hi These are great great advice. I love them and hope to adopt them. But I am a free verse poet, I like freedom and free expression. I have tried to include these advice in my write .

I saw the title for this poem and had to read it. I like your description of the themes and and devices used in sonnets. Is this by chance for the free verse class?

Lovely style to teach how to write a sonnet. What is needed to meet the perfect requirement for a sonnet , is told in this sonnet. Desire to write, goal or objective, brevity, use of imagery, compassion , inspiration, use of simile or satire whatever form one needs, metaphors, rhyme , call for muse , alliteration, fourteen line and per line ten syllables. Lovely. There is no need for an hour lecture after reading this poem to understand sonnet.

Your description is a lovely encouragement to poets who aspire to write sonnets. These aspects are common to all rhyming poetry, yet somehow the sonnet is a rather scary form to execute well.

I guess my greatest weakness in writing forms, is the traditional Shakespearean sonnet, I've written about three I think, but none of them is all that memorable. But this is a great example of one my friend. An excellent rhythm and rhyming in iambic pentameter and ababcdcdefefgg rhyming, well done, blessings, Roy

Well to tell you the truth a sonnet is something I have always been afraid of for some reason. I guess I just feel comfortable with my rhymes. However, I think you have just inspired me to write a sonnet. Thank for sharing I really enjoyed this piece.
