So glad to read your lovely work once again. These had me pondering and though I'm not up to par yet I could enjoy these in lighter way than I normally review. Like seeing the cherry lollipop before the first lick.

Wonderful as ever dear One.
Thanks for sharing it.

In purest passion were our spirits wed,
beside a lake of dreams we made our bed.


What an absolutely beautiful poem. I really enjoyed reading it from start to finish. Can't think of a thing to suggest. It's simply beautiful. Well done.

Hi Pam,

I don't know who Nathan Blackthorn is but the two of you have penned a most beautiful and compelling Crown of Sonnets. Your well chosen words are lovely and each line is well composed. You have used excellent alliteration and enjambments that let your words fall down the page with ease. I love every word....blessings, chey

WOW!!!!!!
Simply amazing. I have the hardest time just writing one sonnet. Here we have seven. What a wonderful story you have written about love and living life together and all the joy that it can bring. I am not very good with sonnets, but I didn't see and mistakes. This is a great work of art.
Great job
Angie

I think your poem is well written, although I have to admit I was a bit lost here and there. We all certainly have our own personal dreams, many of which never come to pass. Many times, as one grows old, you realize that many of those dreams were never meant to be. Good job.

Awesome! The lines of this work of art soar and crescendo like waves upon the seashore. Your words wash over me like gentle breezes on a warm summer day. This poem is like unto a work of art. I could stand and study it, and as I do so I am sure that I will see many different things. Brilliant work.

This work has reached the exceptional level

A marvelous collection of sonnets perfectly (almost) written, perfectly rhymed, perfectly executed. Reading each individual sonnet - with each last line leading us to the next chorus - of this collection is like listening to a beautifully written psalm, one line easing into the next like a smoothly flowing stream.
One small glitch (which I'm sure was not purposeful - the author of this collection is too good a sonneteer) - in sonnet number 3, an iamb seems to have escaped from the first line of the second quatrain:
"some NIGHTS/we REACH/and HOLD/so TIGHT" scans as tetrameter rather than the pentameter you so beautifully use in all the other lines of all the sonnets.
As I said, I'm sure this was not done purposefully but...if it was...could you please explain its use?
'Cause, in my opinion, that one line of tetrameter within all these beautifully written lines of iambic pentameter, stands out like an extremely sore thumb! Put that escaped iamb back in place and this offering becomes absolutely
perfect!

Great art work, it is perfect for this poem! I love it when the art works so well with the poem.

This was beautiful, "My world is made up of your endless sighs." Wow! I think that this is the way sex should be viewed... not as dirty or wrong, but as a beautiful gift that we give to the one we love. Great work!
