Comment from Sally Law

Excellent

A wonderful offering for the 5-7-5, dear Laura. Beautifully penned, and with the cursive font, it added to the period of penned romantic poetry.

Your syllable count is good, as well.

Sending you my best today as always, and best wishes for the contest,
Sally Law xo

Long words are always difficult to fit into iambic pentameter and part of the word just won't fit. I have not heard of this poet before but he seems to have some wise advice here, Shakespeare rarely used long words in his sonnets, love Dolly x

Awww, what a pity. I love long words! I suspect the mockery should be kept for people who misuse the long words, and then it could be done silently, since at least they're having a go!

This is a good entry for the 575 contest. Your syllable count is correct. I learned something new today from you. I never heard of sesquipedalian before, but now I know what it means. Great job and thank you for sharing.

Hi. I always liked that word, "sesquipedalian" but unfortunately, if you want it for your 5-7-5, you may have to rearrange your poem because that word is six syllables. https://www.howmanysyllables.com/words/sesquipedalian
