this was all just totally beautiful, i hated for it to end, it's message is so amazingly lovely, and lovingly true, contentment does come to those who knew it would, this whole poem is SO my entire philosophy, if i had six stars you'd get them, although this deserves so much more! thank you for sharing, blessings.

    LOL you should try writing it!!! Talk about hard to stay focused!! It's an amazing feat just to get through the entire thing but well worth it when it is finished. Thanks so much for your great review.

This is a masterpiece, piece of a master perhaps, quite beautiful in it's imagery and metaphor. I read for those who cannot read for themselves and this ranks with Maya Angelou for ease and power of voice. It has music in it. The stars don't really mean that much but still I wish I had a sixth.

    Who cares about stars when the smile I'm now wearing from you is more brilliant than all of them. You have honored me with this review and I am ever so thankful. This piece was something I just had to write and so much of me is in it that to know it is to know me. MUAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH and thank you again.

Gungalo:

I applaud your fifteen interconnecting
sonnets -- when I happen to write one,
it is normally an accident

I take it the first line of the next
verse has to be the same as the last
line of the previous verse is one of
the rules

thanks for sharing

love,
jan

    Thank Jan!!! Yes that is ONE of the rules. LOL there are so many I swore I'd never write one. But I did and I am so glad for the experience. After five straight hours of writing ... I'm not sure if and when I'd do it again. LOL. Thank you so very much for a great review of it. I'm smiling!!!!

You have a good flow with your poem and your arthor notes are superb-you write with emotion and give good description all through your poem-I love how you write about quiet and the portals that you have to go through and I feel that anyone could identify with some part of this wonderful poem--if I could give you more stars I would--well done.

I like the refrains... that last stanza was done well, not an easy feat. Did you start with the end stanza and work them into the whole or did you end with the end stanza? Either way, each line in it reads so beautifully. Well done

    Thank you Sharon. I actually did start with the last sonnet and went from there. Used a formula in each one to have it say something I truly felt. What beautiful words from you. MUAHHHHH.

    Thanks you. Tehelet is a blue dye. A very old word really, you don't hear it much today but a friend of mine taught it to me. I appreciate your review and the smile you left here with me.

I'm enthralled by this magnificent work. Many images come to my mind but the main one is "as words I write in rhyme for lover's sake. "
