I love the p[pictures. I love the poem. Some love is not meant to be. Life pulls the lovers apart. But there are still the sweet memories. Forget and forgive the bad. Hang on to the good. Great work.

Awesome! How did you put the photo on the bottom of your well penned poem? Nice photos to enhance your clever wording. Light and airy progression, rhyhtm, flow, and rhyming. Beautiful contest entry; good luck, Deb

This is a lovely poem, Mikey, for the love poem contest. Sad, too. Stolen moments, but honor takes over and you both have to part. Yet, the memories linger on for ever. Wonderful. Good luck in the contest! xsx Sandra

This is quite lovely and I enjoyed it very much. Beautifully written, excellent rhyme and I especially like the smooth flow the the words as I read them. I especially like the imagery you convey with this one. As I said, excellent work with this. I enjoyed it immensely.

    Hi, I'm insanely behind. What a great review and I have read all of yours. I'll try and get to your work today, I MISS IT. The new Fanstory makes it so nothing comes up on my phone anymore. So, I'm worse off. See ya soon. mikey

A well composed, very wonderfully written sonnet for the love poem contest, Mikey. It speaks of love, of loss, and being able to accept and appreciate each experience.

I especially enjoyed the way your volta was incorporated into the poem, it was a bit different. Your rhyming couplet brought all of the emotions home to roost in the end.

Excellent, & best of luck. ~Dean

    Hi Dean, Geez, a week behind, well more than that really. So appreciate these encouraging words. I'm rarely home lately. The writing comes quickly and easily to me. Now that Fanstory doesn't work on my phone it really puts a crimp in things. I need to sneak by and read some good writing too. See ya soon hopefully, mikey

    Sure think, Mikey. I've got cardiologist appointments all week, so I know what you mean about staying busy.

This is pretty close to perfection. How true this rungs to me wheyher in reality or even just possibility. So much of love involves our character. In fact our character is often a catch 22, a beautiful closing stanza. Wonderful!!

Beautiful sonnet, Mikey. Good candidate for the prize. :)

Now worlds apart we dance our dance alone
Yet still we smile to know what we have known

Isn't that the truth! All our old bf's and gf's still can make us smile at the memories, even 50 years later. So it's all worth it in the end. :)

Hi Mikey. Now I see what you mean!! That is beautiful, very soulful and passionate. Might I ask why you are not in the picture dancing? especially when you have entitled the piece OUR secret dance. Or is it you who is the secret and she is the dance? Loved this. Already had one person say they won't enter!! That's sad, alf

OH I wish I could write sonnets.
A beautiful love piece and so elegantly done.
You never cease to amaze me at the ease of which you write any style.
Very well done as it conforms to the style of the sonnet

A well done sonnet! I struggle with iambic pentameter. I don't fair well with structure, but when it is beautifully done like this one is, it is very fun to read. good luck!
