Comment from Beri Bee
You've penned a very wise and true sentiment into a beautiful sonnet! Thank you! (P.S., Do you mean for the reader to pronounce ballet ba'LAY?) If so, I love pronouncing words off the beaten path (and I also know that there are many regional dialects here on FanStory)!

baLAY. You're right. Sometimes, it's hard to know how the reader intends it to be pronounced. Thank you for a great review.
Comment from Janice Canerdy
This English sonnet is excellent in every respect. The theme is moving, realistic, and effectively conveyed, and the rhyming and meter are accurate. We will be remembered for how we "played our hand." Great metaphors!

Comment from Bill Schott
This sonnet, The Final Tally, has the proper formatting and begins sounding like a bemoaning of life's heavy handedness, then claws back some sagely nugget which states that it's not the cards that make the hand, but the hand that holds the cards.
