I love morning glories and have had them around my mailbox and along my back yard fence. They bring such joy to see them. I did not know that they were a hallucinogenic or lethal in large doses.

Very nice abab rhyme. Very nice sonnet for the contest. Good luck.

A sonnet. looks like one. Fourteen lines and it's but is in the right place. I won't count syllables. Never thought of stewing or smoking a morning glory. Very interesting. But it's definitely a flower, for the prompt.

Excellent entry for the contest. This is written beautifully and will be a good contender. I don't know of many who can resist that taste of sin. Nicely done. Thank you for sharing!

Author: you have written a fine sonnet. Beginning with the beauty of the flower and then revealing its toxic side was clever. The best lines were the last two: "I should have let my eyes draw beauty in; but I was weak - last night I tasted sin" . . . powerful words and ending. This is six star worthy I believe but I am out of them. livelylinda

I love this poem. It portrays nicely the contradicting beauty and poison of the morning glory flower. You used excellent choice of vivid words and utilized rhyme superbly. Job well done. Keep on writing.

I didn't know they were that lethal, I have 4 in my garden! I just love the flower, we have 4 different ones, and they are gorgeous in the early morning sun. It's a beautiful sonnet, author, good luck in the contest! xsx Sandra

Hi
A well written sonnet, about the Morning glory flower, I heard the story that a couple fell in love and neglected their duties, in anger God forced the young lovers to be separated. a bit cruel I think.

Well written, Good luck in the contest. Mary
