What an amazingly review to read!!! I so do appreciate your thoughts in regards to this sonnet I affectionately refer to as " The sonnet that almost killed me" LOL I must admit your comment on " extraordinary talent" has me smiling from ear to ear. I do beleieve those words will stay with me for some time. I am quite honored and humbled. Thank you for this review and for the kindest of words expressed....

Comment from Miranda Langston
while this is not a sonnet really, it truly is a beautiful piece of writing. the descriptive language you use goes into such depth and it was very entertaining to read

Good morning Miranda,
Thank you for taking the time to review my work.
I noticed you've recently joined Fanstory, welcome!
There are many wonderful and helpful poets and teachers on this site, whom you'll enjoy and learn much from, as I and many others have.
In regards to your comment, "while this is not a sonnet really," I most certainly cannot agree, you offered no explanation, so I am left wondering as to where your thought process is with this comment.
This is an English (Shakespearean) Sonnet, written in the form of a triplet. I maintained the iambics, strict syllable counts, and 3 Sicilian quatrains, followed by a couplet.
Each Sonnet has its own theme, developing from the previous one, resting on a similar volta. It was definitely, a challenge for me to write! As you know, these sonnets can be tricky. Again, I appreciate each and every review I receive.
I noticed, you have also written a lovely Sonnet, which I will be by to review for you.
Good luck to you in the contest. :-)

Wow!! Such an epic write and so very emotionally raw -- you have certainly employed the use of the sonnet to its fullest! :) :) I especially like the middle component with its outstretched yearnings brought home to the heart. :)
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful work and good luck in the contest!

Comment from WalkerMan
With lush imagery, this trilogy of sonnets tells a mythology-like tale of a woman's quest for love amid dimming hopes. In the first sonnet, she, feeling abandoned, in despair pleads for heavenly intervention to restore her dying hope. In the second sonnet, "mystic creatures" hear her plea and respond, eventually restoring her hope by guiding her toward one with similar dreams that both might now dare to explore. In the third sonnet, her fears of loneliness subside as new love grows with one whose own anguish abates in the process. Neither dares question how or why their paths merged; and she feels that, whatever adversity may come their way, his love for her will carry them through. Heartwarming, aptly illustrated, and only you would have written this story in such a beautiful way. Superb.

You are most welcome, Susan. As you know, I think it is important for a reviewer to show full understanding of a post before commenting on it. After all, an author wants to know the intended message and meaning got through to the reader, else the piece is like too many examples of abstract art -- possibly interesting but otherwise incomprehensible. Your poems ALWAYS have meaning -- often DEEP meaning -- that I find stirring in some way, which, to me, is the difference between a Six-star post and a Five. We are friends, but you are EARNING the Sixes I so often give you because of the consistent high quality of your posts and the emotions they evoke. With this one, each time I read it I find more to cherish in its depths. That's why I said, "only you would have written this story in such a beautiful way." -- Mike

Comment from Aurora Stewartz
Enjoyed this poem although not really my personal style of writing. Very good use of imagery. An eloquent read. I would recommend this to my daughter. She writes and has a similar style to yours. Thank you for sharing.
