"Lover's Trilogy", is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. You KEEP WRITING and I'll KEEP READING. I look forward to seeing your next post.

You take me back hundreds of years with this beautifully crafted poem which calls to mind the work of Emily Dickinson--for me at least. Such an honor to read this. Thank you.

A beautifully written suite of suite of sonnets Susan. Very much written in the style of the older poets, immaculate in address, great in an understated style, its presentation is wonderfully thoughtful to highlight the poetry not its background art, hence the tasteful artwork, written in iambic pentameter with the ababcdcdefefgg rhyming, well done, blessjngs Roy

In my opinion, the beauty of the poem is significantly evidenced in its fluid adherence to the prompt. It is smooth in movement and narration, its tale expressively wound around random thoughts of love and references, as in a soliloquy. It easily complies with the prompt - best of luck in the contest...

A very well-written sonnet triplet. The format seemsin order and the topic is about love and the wonderful things we do together with our lovers each moment is a wonderful treasure we keep as memories in our mind.

A beautiful, lyrical and graceful poem -- full of graceful verbiage that flows across the page as if waltzing in wonderment... tender, touching, and emotionally infused ... this is an artfully crafted poem "...Oh, kismet's biddings echo in reply
to every lesson gracefully endured,
applaud brave fledging's willingness to fly ...
wings broadened, finding peace in love procured..."

It is inspiring, hopeful, infused with a dash of realism (that sometimes love does diminish and flee), but always returning back to the love of hope and the hope for love...

I like this sonnet trilogy. The abab rhyme is not forced, and the rhythm is good except for the punctuations where in some parts it flows but loses meaning. For example,

As teardrops stall, in harsh winds strewn,
beneath dense, billowed fear hope soon evades.

In my mind, a comma or better yet, a semi-colon after fear would do the trick.

Wow. This is intense and I feel very much NOT qualified to review. It is simply lovely. I would need to read and re-read and re-read to grasp it, but the flow and the clarity and well . . . the loveliness is so very much ALL there. Creativity at it's peak and I cannot tell you how marvelous this is. AND I am out of sixes! Great job and good luck!

Although I am not a fan of Sonnet style poetry, I enjoyed yours quite a bit. Your words were nothing short of eloquent and they fit well together perfectly. The font carries these words gracefully so the presentation for this poem overall seems as though it would be very visually appealing for your readers.

Best Wishes
