Good luck with this entry. I'm not a fan of the style but you do it well. Actually I like this presentation more. Reads like free verse. Extra points for unique subject matter.

I like this entry for the Sonnet Poetry Contest. You have followed the rules for a sonnet well and expressed your thoughts well. My favorites are the last two lines. Nicely done.

I absolutely loved the final stanza. Just perfect. I think it works so well because I was so shocked by it. But I still loved it. The entire poem though is excellent. Such beautiful word choices. The flow was excellent. Great job.

The first line of the couplet can be intentionally very funny and lead my mind in an entirely different direction, or it could be a mistake. Please let me know, bwahahahahah!
I'm shit-wrecked, on the rocks, washed up by guile,

Yes, that line drew attention! Dope being sometimes referred to, in the vernacular, as shit, your interpretation was spot on. Best wishes, Tony.

Beautifully written friend Tony, once again you display your versatility and extraordinary ability with a variety of forms, although I've seen sonnets from you before, most notably a Crown of sonnets. This is beautifully written in perfect form and theme, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

Thanks, Roy. I twice entered Yelena's Crown of Sonnets contests. Perhaps once was enough! LOL.
