I think you did well on your first sonnet, good rhyme and rhythm flows and reads well, meter may be off a bit, but a great job and read. good luck on this and have a great day.

This is a stone cold tragic snapshot of giving life your all and having it sum up to nothing but staring out the window feeding birds, waiting for death to release you from the slavery of loneliness.....is that what's in store for you and I?

Some clever rhymes, yonder and ponder with the half rhyme chatter and laughter for example, wrap this melancholic photograph into both a stark criticism of how blind we have become as a society and a heartfelt plea for empathy towards those that have served us well in their lives so we could live ours.

I wish you well with this in the contest and may God Bless you for being an empath.

Max

Too many times grown children, too busy with their own lives to even care, neglect the very parents who brought them into this world and raised them, when those same parents are old and need the children the most.

This poem depicts this theme well and should make for an interesting entry into this contest.

Unusual Sonnet in that it is about sadness rather then Love. The writer re-told an all too common story in a few short lines. unfortunately, some of the rhyming seemed forced. The photograph was stark and added to the atmosphere created by the words.

    Yes it is sad but she is longing for love so I thought this would suffice, thanks for your comments and review.
