This reminds of the quote, 'A man travels the world looking for love and comes home to find it' I don't know who wrote that, not me. I really enjoyed this poem. It has good rhyme and rhythm. Merry Christmas. Jen.

Ekaine and I have travelled this world, and if finances and health allow, we will probably do more, this is a good job of writing this sonnet, the battle of getting strict form in order is a difficult one to negotiate, but giving them a go is what it's all anoutm beautifully written, blessings Roy
Typo : I travel through this wond(e)rous

This is quite a nice piece of romance poetry in sonnet style however FLOWERS is 2 syllables not one. I guess you could write FLOW'RS which would indicate to the reader that they need to read it as one syllable. Good luck.

There are many out there who have left home in quest of something, spent years looking for it, then came home to find her there awaiting. You describe that long trek very well in your romance sonnet, Paul. Your meter is flawless. Rod
