Excellent poem! The reader pondered on the words of this poem. The poem is deep and thought provoking. The author's words are creative, strong and clear. The artwork is perfect and compliments the theme of this poem.

This sonnet is well written and seems to use the morning glory as a metaphor for love growing and waning. But this person seems to be happy to have tasted sin.

The picture seems to be a geisha girl which is a good symbol of fleeting love.

Good luck and keep writing.

Happy New Year.

I didn't realise it was poisonous and I remember seeing one when I was just a little girl, but never since. I found your flower sonnet very powerful with great impact in the innuendo. My very best wishes for the competition.

Hello Mystery Poet

An excellent entry for the contest and a lovely presentation. I love the use of such clever metaphors and your exploration of this charming flower. I enjoyed the rhyme and as best as I can tell the meter is correct.

Excellent alliteration in "my/morning", "warmth/wilt/weakly/wears", beauty/burden", "within/whiles", "starstruck/smiles"

"weakly/meekly/beauty" ... clever in-line rhyme.

"I cannot tell your nightmare from my dream." ... great phrasing and contrast of nightmare/dream.
Tantalising mystery you've given to this wee flower .. a most creative perspective.

Great final couplet ... excellent, well considered phrasing. I wish you the best of luck in the contest. An exciting entry. Warm Regards - Lovinia xoxo

A good depiction of the flower with its characteristics. Expressive and nicely written.
Flowers are favorites of mine if written well, and this certainly is.
Well done.
Best wishes.

Beautifully composed, I enjoyed this new, classically written rendition of an old poetic discipline! The language used is engaging and strident, articulate and well presented, the ababcdcdefefgg rhyming and proximate is good, the rhythmically even meter is excellent, altogether a very worthy entry in this competition, written in the tragic climate of the sonnet, well done, blessings, Roy.
