Shall I compare thee to a winter's eve? Thou art more frigid and more icy cold. Different seasons different reasons
different ages different wages .. Well done Blessings, Rouskin

Oooh a fool for the Pyrite Princess I see. This was a superb parody Tony and thank you for including the proper version in the notes. I'm ashamed to say as a Sonnet lover I've NEVER actually read the real deal...heard it parodied many a time but wouldn't have known his ow'st from his grow'st. LOL
Your frigid display from an ice queen who likes to collect hearts like badges was thoroughly enjoyable.
LOVED it all but the closing couplet my absolute top shelf choice for phrasing. Well done and sorry NOT a sixer to speak of but this was damn terriff. May the bitch freeze in Hell. LOL Good luck with this new slant on an old favourite.
Cheers P

Good use of the sonnet rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good perfect rhyming with cold/gold...love/dove. Good alliteration with does/dove...changes/course...like/lips...to/tempt. Good simile use with like lips vermillion...as light as snow. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message.

I like the remake. This is what Bill's poem would have probably read written several months later. I am curious as to why you isolate the line, 'Rough winds do shake the autumn leaves.' It seems a natural enjambment into the following two lines. Kenny

    Thanks, Kenny. I appreciate your review and comment. I used the short sentence here as a springboard into the enjambment, which leads into a much longer sentence spanning the next three lines.
