Comment from Meia (MESAYERS)
A beauty far beyond my boldest thought,
Above all common understanding - rare.
A model of perfection men have sought,
With alabaster marbled skin so fair. ;
Sue is so lucky this is absolutely beautiful and utter perfection. Amazing. LoveMeia x

This Shakespearean sonnet, Lady Fair, has the signature items one uses to identify a sonnet. Your iambic pentameter, rhyme scheme, and theme all lead me to call this an English-style sonnet. The tribute to your wife, Sue, is nice to read and, I'm certain, a cherished sentiment for her.

You have some lovely turns of phrase......"beauty beyond my boldest thought" and "tempt the throat of every bird to sing" your love and admiration is clearly spoken in this love sonnet. Your love partner exudes patience and understanding in your regard. You are most lucky and your poem expresses that. GSmuse (Gwendolyn)

First of all, Anonymous Poet, you may want to remove your name from your dedication to your beloved wife in your author's notes as this is a blind contest.
It could possibly get you disqualified.
I would hate to see that happen because this is such a well written Shakespearean sonnet.
It would be a shame if it did not receive the chance at winning it so richly deserves.
Excellent iambic pentameter.
Perfect composition.
I wish you all the best in the voting booth.

I couldn't get along with out you Dean. I don't enter many contests and am kind of absent minded when I do. I appreciate the heads up and I have complied and removed my name. Thanks a million my friend. tom

You're very welcome, Tom.
I've been DQ'ed Before for similar oversights.
It's kind of disheartening.

This is a love sonnet in the truest tradition where the Speaker woos his Lady Love. Her beauty, "beyond [his] boldest thought," is highly praised throughout the poem. And you have used iambic pentameter flawlessly.
Delightful! Rod
