Exceptional
This work has reached the exceptional level

If ever I could write like this
my kingdom I would hurl into the abyss .
My God, man, your writing is akin to
attending a Midsummer Night's Eve
and listening to Shakespeare in the
Park.
What I mean to say, it is captivating
to see but a mortal man turn mere words
into such beauty.
If, but only I could write like this.
Well done

    Geez. I'm humbled. Thanks so very much. I don't know what to say. It's just lots of words instead of a few. It did seem to come together almost out of my control. I'm just delighted I could return the favor. I enjoy your work every time I read it. Thanks a million, mikey

Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted

I admire anyone who can write a crown of sonnets. This is such a sad story, makes a woman cry. Couple of thoughts for you. I think due to differences in accents some of the lines seem out of meter to me but they work, but there are a couple I feel could use some work.

Could answers new wait for me their tonight
Could answers new await me their tonight

I know the voice I hear is me sweet dear (my sweet)

I'll go alone, take the ship, don't be sad (this line is rough for me but I'm having a trouble finding the right wording. I'll go alone, is a good meter gets rough with take the ship don't be sad. I'll GO aLONE TAKE the SHIP DON'T BE SAD, I heard a lot of hard stresses in that line but it could be differences in language

I'll go alone, I'll take the ship, not sad, something along that meter)

It's a great story which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Great work.
