Lisa,
Wow! Thanks for suggesting I come read this fine sonnet. The ups and downs of our passions and desires and hopes and dreams... abundant territory for poetry! You have nurtured a fine sonnet here!

This is all for show, and my pleasure Lisa. May I give it 10 out of 6. I rarely give more than a sixer but this is superb, You are, obviously, at the top of your game. Enjoy your coming fame.......

Comment from Sanku
This is a problem from time immemorial.How do you really know a person's heart? what he is thinking?
The poem is well crafted .The lines echoes the picture.I like the metaphor of withering wines...hardening. All the best for the contest.

I am so happy you understand the metaphor.
The contest ended yesterday and I came in second. The sad thing is although I got fantastic reviews most never voted. Voting is so important ... especially in the Blind Contests.

Comment from Carlos' girl
You have written a very good sonnet here. The words flow effortlessly and create a vivid story of a love that is less than desirable. Well done. Author's notes enhance the work nicely

Thank you so much,
The issue for me is that so few vote even though they review...

LoL I mean not enough vote

I got a lot of reviews but most of those people never voted!

Comment from lancellot
Ah, I'm sorry I missed this contest and this entry. It is very well crafted and I like the topic of passion lost and love spurned. It happens, it happens.
Congratulations on your second place. I think that last line about moaning passion may have scared a few voters away. Remember, FS usually shuns any form of lust.

Now isn't that sad. Lust plays such an important role in most sonnets... I lost because although I did receive loads of fabulous reviews from writers that are okay with lust, not all those writers took the time to Vote...
I am delighted that you enjoyed my Sonnet.

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
Really great picture. Your poem is interesting, but I'm no poet so I can't tell you how perfect it is. However, the way you seem to match it with the picture and the title, you make me understand how what I am seeing is not proof of true love.

THat is all a poet can hope for Carol.
I am delighted you enjoyed my Sonnet. And, understood it... I too am so happy with the picture.
The sad thing is that although I received so many positive reviews most of those reviewer never took the time to vote. And, voting is so important.
You say you are no poet??? are you a writer?

I am a writer and I vote in every contest that I have time for, which is most of them. I must admit I'm not sure which one I voted for. Sometimes I like a poem that doesn't get many votes.

I too always vote and I always review.

Comment from Bill Schott
This sonnet, Desire's Withering Vines, has the proper formatting and witnesses the sad realization that the desires for one another have fallen off sharply.

Hi Bill,
Thank you...
Glad you understood the true meaning of my poem. I came in second in the Sonnet Contest. Sadly, although I got so many positive reviews... along with many 6 Stars, .. most likely because reviewers just do not take the time to Vote and we all know that voting is so very important.

Comment from Terry Broxson
Lisa, the first thing that strikes me about the poem is how well you captured both the emotion of the poem and its message with the illustration you used. That is really good. Your message is sad, and your readers feel every bit of the pain. Excellent, Terry.

Thank you so much Terry,
Delighted you liked my Sonnet and the image that I put with it.
I received second place for my poem.
The sad thing is that all though I got many fantastic reviews most of the reviewers did not vote and voting is super important.

Hi there fellow writer.
Would you like to be Fans?
I had this posted for a Blind Sonnet contest and came in second.
Sadly many that review do not vote. And voting is so important to the writer.
Thank you so much for you very kind review ...

Comment from Jane Jane King
Beautiful but sad poem with a poignant message. When someone is not who you thought they were, it really hurts and you mourn the loss deeply. Very insight poem.
