I admired your converting your Minute Poem to a sonnet and adding the fascinating artwork. The rhymed, eight line stanzas are very effective in reflecting on friendship. Smiles- Joan

A very well-written modern English sonnet with 8 syllables about friendships that are precious when we have friends that are true and honest with each other without talking behind our backs is a rarity today, when we do friends like that we hold on to them for dear life.

I sadly have not yet read the free verse poem from which you took this piece, but I find this poem wonderfully written conveying a beautiful thought and doing it very well. I truly like the picture and admire your ability to write such a beautiful sonnet.

I loved the sentiments of friendships here Alicia, sonnets are usually written in iambic pentameter and this is missing from your poem, but I loved the warmth in your words, love Dolly x

    Hi Dolly! I wrote wordy, but keeping it iambic pentameter in 8-syllables will take a lot more poetry writing practice. Thank you. Hugs, Alicia :)

Hi Alicia. Friendships are important to us. I like the illustration of the cute dollies to illustrate friendship. An 8-syllable line sonnet is interesting and innovative. I'm not a sonnet writer. However, I do enjoy this modern form. Good job. Marilyn

Hi there, Alicia, I am certainly not a good 'sonnet expert', but your syllable count and wonderful friendship theme work well here! :) ;) Best of luck to you in the contest! :) :) Yvette ;)

Loved this, Alicia! I so agree that friendships are so important to life, especially those lifelong friends who support us always. I also love that you used an 8-line form of a sonnet.
