Shakespeare speaks of his mistress as honest in her appearance andnature, even though she is rather rough and rather smelly. And you similarly love your man despite his faults.

I enjoyed your attempt at the sonnet form.

This line is out of metre:
(I've seen others seductive to behold)

suggest:

(As others more seductive to behold)

This line is out of metre and has too many syllables:

(I grant his dancing may not always do him proud)

suggest:

(I grant his dancing will not make him proud)

Welcome to Fanstory Susan, love Dolly x x x

Congratulatons on your first milestone post! In high school, I wrote a version of Sonnet 130 called "Ode to Ethel." LOL. I liked your take on it from the female point-of-view. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes to you.
