Superb work, Mikey :) very menacing. Really like the overall effects of assonance and alliteration. Vacancy just kills you, doesn't it?

You know I'm not much for sonnets. Tried to write one before (the Phoenix poem) and I struggled for hours.

Well, at least I tried.

Hugs

Amanda

As far as I can tell
As far as I can spit -
A sonnet you have written
There's no denying it!

I enjoyed this, especially the final couplet with its nasty twist. Perfecto!

    Well, once I wrote a sonnet about a cow's love for grass ... it didn't go over too well, but I though my form was excellent!

Congratulations for trying this difficult form. I can't get it right, so I keep this review to the poem's emotions. My problem is- if you're dead, how can you write this? Totally unprepared for the violent ending. You're weird. :-)

Hi :)

Great piece, well written.

Good luck with the contest.

My extra words are there to please the system.

Forgive me if I don't go into detail about the structure and format of your work.

It's not for me to say.

I don't presume to judge a poets style, the words and work are from the heart and should be left alone.

If I didn't like what you wrote, I wouldn't respond to it.

That's good enough for me and other writers will share the same comments.

Good job,

Ted

Yikes! Intense and sad, but very, very well-done, Michael. "I sadly sing of love our former song..." << and with it, haunt you all the whole night long! The thing is, it happens, more often than we realize.

    Hey! Nice couplet!! It only took me since I first signed up, but I finally got one right. Yeah, kinda morbid, huh? Okay, now I'll work on content. mikey

A very deep write. The first part was sad but the second was downright tragic. You done a great job and you skill as story telling in any more is expanding by leaps and bounds. Well done.
