Wow! That is fascinating. I had not idea the morning glories were hallucinogenic. Thannks for sharing that in your author's notes. That also made the poem make more sense to me with the deadly ending.
Best wishes with your contest entry. There are so many great choices which is making the voting tough!
Blessings,
Marsha

These are beautiful lines. I guess I should stop eating my morning glories which are one of my very favorite flowers. I have dark purple ones on my porch rail with a couple bright pink ones every year. Best wishes in the contest, my friend~Debbie

Oh my - this starts out so sweetly romantic, but then, just as we are drawn into the nectar of love sublime, your sonnet leads us into the heat of sin (and lust, perhaps?) that this protagonist encountered...
Best of luck in the contest. (Intriguing...)

Is tasting sin the hallucinogenic or is it more of the physical variety?
I cannot tell your nightmare from my dream - a powerful line - one of my favorites in the poem.

Sonnet "Morning Glory" An excellent sonnet you have created here, about the flowers blooming in the morning and then close at the end of the day. A very good analogy. Well done.

This was a mesmerizing read with a surprise ending. I have planted Morning Glories for years and did not know they were hallucinogenic. My favorite stanza is the second which simply overflows with alliteration and includes inner line rhyme. Good luck in the contest. A wonderful entry.

Mysterious author; I found your writing to be superbly excellent and your rhyming couplets in your sonnet when neither forced nor labored and very helpful in your rhythmic flow. Your rhythm's cadence, tempo and meter helped with the movement and a smooth flow of your writing. Also the meanings of your rhyming words exactly effective and staying with the concept at hand and not straying or being strained from the idea. I liked your use of a metaphor to explain the sensual night in which their love committed Adam and Eve's falling from grace: "I should have let my eyes draw beauty in; but I was weak--last night I tasted sin." An excellent finishing line to substantiate your sonnet. Thank you for sharing thank you for sharing and posting and may you have a very lovely weekend ahead.

Very nicely crafted flower Sonnet contest entry. I am not a sonnet fan but I enjoyed your choice of flowers and how you weaved its' side effects into the affects love can have on one.

A nice poem that seemed to flow well. My only question is the use of ' a couple of times. Once for emphasis works. However, more than once can be a bit of a distraction. Thanks for sharing, Brent.
