Comment from Bill Schott
This sonnet, Deep in the Buried Heart, has the proper formatting, with adjustment, and within the poem discovers the remembered joys and sadness when winnowing out artifacts from one's personal history.

Comment from Just2Write
A very different Sonnet, and yet, your familiar voice rings through in it. I am trying to purge the stuff I spent half my life acquiring, and now find that it is mostly dross and clutter. How valuable they were when youth was upon me. Not so much now that the days are darker, and life winds down.
I'm sure this Sonnet will touch quite a few readers, Tony.

Comment from Michael Steinert
I love your take on the form and this poem reads so smoothly. But honestly I really just enjoy the content because I think everyone feels that way after a spring clean

Comment from Dawn Munro
I'm so glad I isn't miss this beautiful sonnet, Tony, and your notes, which are so helpful for anyone with a love of the form, but a need to learn. "Life's hord" isn't so easily discarded in some cases though, especially when being 'freed from the dross' was not by choice. (*smile*)
I love that closing couplet, most especially, and I bet it resonates with everyone who reads this poem. :)

You are so right about collecting things, some of which will never be used. Sometimes it is far more freeing to rid ourselves of the fluff. I love the slight changes to the sonnet form. They add emphasis in all the right places.

Comment from Dean Kuch
I have the utmost respect for anyone who uses the word "fossick" today, Tony, and realizes that it's simply another way of stating "to rummage."
Such sentimental things, so often seen
are found when we decide to deep Spring clean...
An excellent, well composed Shakespearean sonnet, my friend.

Comment from rspoet
A wonderful poem/sonnet that many "of a certain age" will relate to
Significance is often altered by time as perspective changes
The problem is, I need not only a spring-clean,
but a summer, fall and winter clean as well.
I should probably do this with my poetry, too.
Excellent, meter, with the inversion, and rhyme
The second stanza Volta works nicely,
but it is the third stanza that stands out for me.
Well done
Best wishes to you
Robert

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice image and presentation.
-Author notes are appreciated.
-A well penned sonnet, Tony, that
addresses a topic many of us face-
"the jumble of long years and memory."
-You develop the idea well with good imagery
and examples that allow the poem to flow smoothly.
-I like the ending couplet, and can relate to that, too.
-Thanks for sharing, and good to see you on FS.

Many thanks for your kind words and six stars, Pam. Much appreciated. There are quite a few who have identified with this one. We're home again at the end of the month. Currently enjoying a few days in Paris - plenty of inspiration for the months ahead!. Best wishes, Tony

You are very welcome and deserving of the stars and review, Tony. It sounds like you are having a great vacation. Enjoy Paris and have a good trip home. It's always good to hear from you.
Comment from Spitfire
Some wonderful lines here that I connect with:
discard/ these falsely valued baubles from life's hoard
So much philosophy in stanza three.
The ending couplet seems paradoxical. To compare good with rediscover forgotten dreams.

Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
I really like this. I like mining through a good junk pile that has been sitting dormant and unattended for quite some time. It's even better to forage through someone else's junk pile!:-)
You do rediscover lost dreams and pleasant memories that are brought back from the dead in an instant. You've done a fine job presenting and bringing forth this buried treasure gem. I enjoyed reading this! Well done!
