Comment from Brooklinn
I enjoyed this poem very much! It has a very somber tone and I was able to feel the sadness in the words. It has a good flow to it, and very good imagery of how you are feeling.

Comment from Brigitte Elko
This is a from the heart sonnet written elegantly. To weave the starry skies with the snow and memories was inspired. The picture was a perfect selection to accompany your words.
Good luck in the contest.
Blessings,
Brigitte

Iambs and buts and fourteen lines, very sonnetine. Thought it was a musing to the departed, but he was just gone....looks like an excellent contest entry.

Comment from Cedar
This is beautiful Janet. Your rhyming and presentation are perfect. It is so sad for those who face this situation. Especially sad for those who have been involved in a long relationship.
I wish you the best of luck in the contest. Happy New Year my friend...Bill

Comment from Writeling
Oh dear, this is sad... and I'm sure reflects the thoughts of many who've lost their partner. I really like:
'But as the snowflakes fall and fill the air --
they seem to blur my image of your face.'
with best wishes, Writeling

Comment from Rubylou
Your sonnet is so beautifully written and so sad at the same time.
You evoke different emotions as a skillful and talented poet does.
...blue heaven, dismal grey, haunts, nowhere, blur my image, dream..."
These are just some of the words which (for me) gives the almost ominous feel to this wonderful piece.
Rubylou
P.S, The artwork totally supports your poem. Nice choice.

Comment from Thal1959
Another six stars for the master of meter. Very well done. Only the word "quietly" in the couplet tripped the meter the first time I read it. Might help to remove the commas in that line. Just a thought.

You're welcome - it was my pleasure.
Comment from CD Richards
To me, it seems there is some room for interpretation as to how this marriage ended - although I'm leaning towards it being a break-up, rather than through death. The thirdd line of stanza three seems to hint at that.
Excellent rhyme and meter, and a good turn. A very nice example of the form, and since it meets all the requirements and is quite a touching tribute to a love lost, I have no hesitation in giving it all the stars I can.
Well done - Craig
