Last Minute Jitters
A Sonnet Contest37 total reviews
Comment from Pullmanspb
What did I like most about this? The ending took me by surprise, and a pleasant surprise it was. My own last minute jitters began 10 minutes before we said our vows.
So, what a lovely and down-to-earth treatment of a subject I don't often read about.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Sonnet. There are always the last minute doubts before the big wedding day. Sometimes the doubts are not too serious and the wedding took place. Other times either one choose to run away.

Comment from Joy Graham
Yours is the first sonnet that I have read today that has iambic pentameter. This is such a treat :) I enjoyed your love theme that is perfect for the sonnet contest. Excellent rhymes throughout. A good turn in the third stanza. Nice closing couplet. This poem should hold its own in the contest judging. My best wishes to you!

Thank you Joy for your lovely review and encouraging comments. It did come in 3rd so I'm happy that it placed at all. I don't have a lot of luck in the contests. But, the one that won was really good.

Comment from Mustang Patty
a beautifully penned sonnet about the pre-wedding jitters that can come to many, and a few will be scared away. The words of your poem tell of someone that is just a bit scared they are more into the relationship than their partner. (Or at least that is their perception.)
Well done and a finely constructed poem. Good luck in the contest,

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hi anon, this is a very well written sonnet in true English sonnet form and iambic pentameter. Good abab etc, rhyme with a particularly good turn in stanza three. I love your end couplet. Overall a very good sonnet and the content is really beautiful. In stanza three ' 'But if my heart' - would this not be better as 'But as my heart is yours....'? heaven(')s - add the apostrophe. Well done and good luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy

This is a wonderful Sonnet.
Which describes pre wedding jitters with such imagery.
The alliteration is fantastic which gives value to your words
and a lovely picture to accompany

Comment from Dean Kuch
This is a very elegantly presented and eloquently worded way to go about saying that someone is getting cold feet just prior to their big day, lol.
Yours is one of three sonnets in this particular contest that I would consider voting for. It's very well put together.
I wish you the very best of luck in the contests outcome.

Comment from Oatmeal
Wonderful job you did with your entry. Thoughts are expressed and described well.
The arrangement is fine, smoothly readable and understandable. The flow was very nice. The theme was strong. The artwork complemented your poem.
I saw no SPAG and no typos. It was very clean.
Don't worry. I am on husband #4 and I will never get another divorce. He is a wonderful husband. I had wedding jitters with him and I had done it before.
I look forward to seeing you again.
Love you,
Oatmeal
