This is a very well written poem that captures the imagination of the great people of ancient times. They are at work today but, unfortunately, some may doubt whether their work is constructive as opposed to destructive. Well done, Tom.

Thank you rod, I agree.
Comment from robina1978
Excellent photo of you that complements this Sonnet very well. I did not know this form. But I think you did it very well. A gift allows your mind to travel. Part about you and then the Grecian Gods.

Thank you , Ine. Maybe a bit presumptuous , you think?
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
Great poetry. You are really imaginative and exploring new things is always interesting and rewarding. I don't have the knowledge to judge your form and structure, but I really enjoyed the content of the sonnet and it is a real pleasure to learn from a master like yourself.

Thank you Sandra. What a nice compliment.
Comment from GregoryCody
This is fantastic. I love your flow as always and from what I see it is perfect meter. Although I'm no expert. I don't know how you do this so easily. It's incredible.
Especially The B rhyme here
For that is what the Masters all desire --
Achievement touched by blessed inspiration,
With extraordinary mood elation,
The likes the Grecian gods would oft' admire.

Thank you Greg. I don't know, it just comes naturally, I guess.

Lucky lucky guy. Lucky genius?
Comment from Joan E.
Whoa--a warped selfie--now, that's imaginative! Thank you for beginning another adventure--this time with a range of sonnets starting with Dante's version. I admired your rhymes and subtle reference to Dante with "divined". The "geniuses" would be proud of your "Achievement". Here's to the spark of imagination to ignite inspiration! Bravo!! -Joan

Awesome picture. Imagination and inspiration go hand in hand. Poets are truly aware of that. Read your author notes, and personally I wouldn't try a Shakespeare sonnet. Just not my thing, but admire those who do succeed at it. Wonderfully penned. Les

Thank you Les. But then your free verse poems are masterpieces in their own right.
Comment from Pantygynt
This is a most interesting piece but one question immediately leaps to mind, and this is not a criticism but a genuine query. What is the essence of a sonnet; what is the sine qua non? It's not the 14 lines it not the classic Shakespearean progression, its not the rhyme scheme. I mean to say, just how far can you bend it before it ceases to be a sonnet?

A very good question, that I often wonder myself. Obviously. The first 12 is the key. Apparently, after that all bets are off. Even the Volta is not a sure thing, as Shakespeare ofter put it in the closing couplet, although i tried to i,ncludes one in this.
