Comment from MissMerri
A truly beautiful sonnet, in sentiment and artistry. The picture you paint with your words is much like the artist in the poem paints... carefully done and bringing to life strong and loving emotions. I especially like the unselfishness of the speaker. I wondered about the use of "aren't" because it seems like two syllables to me, but I realize it may not be for you. But ... I'm always running into difficulty in my own poems because of my pronunciation issues, so I'd rather leave it up to you. I love the sonnet, and hope it does well in the contest. I'd be most surprised if it didn't. Good luck, not just today, but with all your writing. You have much talent.

Comment from AprilViolet
Sonnets can be difficult to write but you did it here effortlessly. This love poem is about a love so deep they are willing to give it up for the others happiness. That right there is true love.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written sonnet about finding the love of your life and hope not to let her go away from you. When we find a special person who make us happy we try to hold on to them for as long as we can.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This is a fine sonnet, well metered, and sweet natured, unselfish and the warm sentiments here are touching, sometimes if we love someone we have to let them find their own way in life even if it is without us, love Dolly x

Comment from Becky Kern-Taylor
How sad! You must not count yourself out, maybe it will all turn out positively. So you are a painter? And fell in love with your subject, I think that's what Picasso did. He fell in love with many women, he was a rascal according to the special I watched, but then many geniuses were rascals. Glad I'm not a genius, what a cross to bear. Being talented and being a genius are two different worlds.

Comment from Eternal Muse
You did an excellent job for a first sonnet. You are a natural! Flawless iambic meter, rhymes and flow,a good turn in the 9th line and a very good rhymed couplet in the last 2 lines. Congratulations! Good job.

Comment from RodG
This is a very well-written sonnet describing how an artist feels about a woman he knows will never be his. What truly comes across is that huge gap between love (how he feels about her) and fondness (her regard for him). The closing couplet is quite poignant. The meter and rhyme are very good.
