This is a lovely poem of love and complete surrender and then storm clouds inevitably fall upon us then the decisions made are never easy. Yours, diana

Comment from Joan E.
I admired your love sonnet and dramatic artwork selection--the Bard would be proud! Your rhymes and rhythm are very effective and your "lace" metaphor and "dust" simile add to the intensity. Best wishes in the competition--my only regret is I do not have the six stars this poem deserves- Joan

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I wish you luck with the contest, love can meet a tempest storm and before you know it all the love is washed away, but if love cannot ride a storm it was never meant to be, love Dolly x

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
I enjoyed your sonnet. You did a great job comparing the young couple's love to the 'space things' & how those changed as did their love due to life. I liked the picture very much. This was a great topic for a sonnet. I was hoping for a continuation of what happened in their life & love. Best wishes. Jan

Exactly! An excellent sonnet. Meter and rhyme spot on, word choice is, as well. I enjoy reading and writing sonnets, and this one spoke to me. Thank you for it!

This is good. I like your descriptive and clever wording that you've used writing this. You've painted a beautiful picture along with the message conveyed here. I like Jmf4119! Well done!

Comment from Hugh McDowell
Very nice work. It seems to showcase that life has beauty and hope. Yet there is the other side of the coin that tells of challenges not understood.Your words paint pictures. The writing flows well both when read and listened to. My only critique is the last line and I admit, just a different perspective. I see the universe as more impersonal, not good or bad. We as humans attach that type of value to it. By the way, I usually am not a huge fan of rhymed poetry, this was great.

Comment from Cedar
Hello Janet: I'm not a writer of Sonnet's, nor do I review many of them. However, I do know what I like when I read it. And, I liked this piece very much.
The love story that you told is very emotional and your rhyming is perfect. Also, your presentation picture brings everything together just as it should.
As I said, I'm certainly not an expert when it comes to Sonnet's, but I do believe this one will do very well in the contest. Good luck, my friend...Bill
