This is exquisite, Melissa, and I can identify with it. The word choices and flow of your poem work well together for a delightful and heartfelt post. Good work. Marilyn

I really like your poem. It is romantic, has good rhyming, and flows very smoothly. I like the closing lines: "From tender, quiet depths reclaimed by me, I offer you a love unbound and free. A very effective ending.

This is a Shakespearian sonnet without the breaks in stanzas, Melissa? It is written very well. It must be cold and snowing where you are at. :) Nothing to do, but... cuddle up to a warm fire and drink some tea. Thank you for sharing.

Your sonnet is excellent in every respect--creative, skillfully written,
and very descriptive of one's revisiting the past, and deciding to break free from it--welcoming love again.

After reading this poem a few time, which I didn't mind, I could see the shadow in the past that was described with the grey mist. So now you try to get back with him and you succeeded, which was described by the following two lines:
pure emotion reappears...
quiet depths reclaimed by me,

Very nicely done. I like the subtlety.

Enjoyed this beautiful Sonnet. Very nicely rhymed with strong meter.
It is good to let the past go and start anew. Beautifully expressed.
I love the wonderful imagery of "collecting love's bent fragments as I go."
Thank you for sharing.
Nancy

One off the things I've decided in my life, is to like myself, in the past I've been down on myself for my myriad of faults, but look at my self through God's eyes, do I need to change? Absolutely, but peace lies in being at peace, that's not quite what you're saying, but it means I don't have be justified, I'm already justified, well done, blessings Roy

Hello, Sugar Ray,

Beautiful Spenserian Sonnet. You are doing very well in your class judging by this sonnet. I agree that music influences how we feel. Sometimes it makes me cry. Well done.

This is beautiful. While I am not well versed enough in the proper form of the Spencerian sonnet, I can say this sonnet touched me deeply. Lovely illustration.

Very well written sonnet. The rhyme is my favorite. This is beautifully worded, and makes this reader conjure up memories in her own mind. I like how you made the turn in this sonnet, and the last couplet is lovely.
