Haaaaa, I just found this little gem of a sonnet and I must say, it's a beautiful love poem with a bit of tongue in cheek wit.

Your meter is pristine, as are your original rhymes. The artwork choice is just adorable.

Superb, Mav. I wish you the best of luck in the contest as this is a fine and original love poem.

I feel just like an ordinary guy.

What, you Mikey? that would make the rest of us feel like mere mortals. Sy it ain't so. Who would we look up too?

This is a great entry for the love sonnet contest. The rhyme and the meter are excellent, and it's humorous, which is always a massive bonus, from my point of view. I wish you success.

All the best,
Jane

Interesting and unique entry to the contest.
The rhymessage work well and the comparison to a dog is something else.
"With wagging tail I'll drool and lick her butt."
Too funny

Good one, Mikey. Funny theme. This is amusing, witty, unique nd well penned with superior rhyming (imaginative!) and flawless meter. Good composition style as well. Fine flow and punctuation, though I have a suggestion or two.

NOTES

Love the rhyme pair here: (note one spag too):

I find it hard to feel all's copacetic;

I've met a gal(--)superior genetic;


I love the rhymes in this stanza too...so fun:

I'm used to being worshiped and adored,
not groveling like Fido for some scraps.
I pose and smile, then prance ... MY GOD, SHE'S BORED!

*
t(T)here's fear she's listing all my handicaps.

Fine volta!
But still, she smiles, it seems I must amuse.

*
(p(P)erhaps like some endearing mongrel mutt)

LOL:
I'll take it, if it's me she deigns peruse,
with wagging tail I'll drool and lick her butt!


Love the witty and satirical closing couplet:

I'd rather be her loyal, nuzzling slave,
than suffer one more mewling fawning knave.

Almost a six!


Bravo

Warmly, rd
