A very passionate poem that reveals the agonies of a heart that is wounded by unrequited love. I like the imageries employed in bringing this sad tale to light. The rhymes are very well done. I really like the poem. Bravo.

This is an expertly written piece, and I particularly enjoyed reading the medieval-toned third stanza. Eyes blinded by your sun indeed! Good luck in the contest.

Awesome. Loved the reference to blind love, (Eyes blinded by your sun). It seams to hint at an acceptance of the victims own naivete and vulnerability. An excellent description of the mortal wound that is unrequited love.

Nice very nice sonnet. Since I know very little about the iambic pentameter I can't say very much so I'll leave it to those who do. Good luck in the contest.

Typically ambivalent regarding sonnets, the artistry in this work sways me to re-evaluate. Beautiful, Yeltel, and not verse alone: artwork, font, and backdrop create a timeless presentation.
Excellent!

I enjoyed your poem. Learning about the format, in the author notes, was nice. You've use vivid words that help the reader feel the pain of unrequited love. Thank you.
