Janet,

Congrats on your third place win in the Sonnet Poem contest. Your title of your poem You are the One is well reflected in your words. The love story you tell with your words is creative, and profound and flows easily when read. Well done.

All the best,

Eugene

Janet, this is absolutely beautiful. I love the use of alliteration in the line that begins "As songbirds sing..." It has added depth, too, as expressed in the third verse, and this raises the whole into a wonderfully honest piece.

You chose beautiful word images to color this sonnet of love, creating a poem that flows and rhymes well. I especially like your last line, a lovely declaration of enduring love.

What a perfectly beautifully constructed sonnet both in form and message!
I feel the very same way about my dearest love as well, Janet...
My favorite stanza is your final rhyming couplet:
Without a doubt, I know you are the one,
You are my morning and my setting sun.

Thank you for sharing!
Best Wishes!
Fondly,
diane

    Thank you Diane for the lovely review, kind comments and shiny stars.
    I know from your work that we have this love of our "beloveds" in common along with may other things.
    I was concerned that the couplet was too common or familiar but it was my feeling as I wrote to cap off and end the poem.
    It won 3rd place in the contest so I am thrilled.

Very nicely done. You capture all the romantic feelings quite well. The photograph blends in artistically. Th matting improves the look, and the font is just right. Karen

What a beautiful love sonnet, Janet! Love is always a great theme for sonnets and your poem is full of beauty of the sunrise and sunset because of the beloved one. Hope this does well in the contest!

Oh, I so admire ANYONE that can write a sonnet, especially one as beautiful as this. What a lovely, golden sunset you have described here. My favorite time of day. Stunning!
Sending you my best today as always, Janet dear, and my very best wishes for the upcoming contest.

    Thank you Sal for the lovely review and kind comments. I do like to write sonnets although, I don't write as often as I'd like. They are a challenge but fun to write since I usually write them for my "beloved".
    This one won 3rd place in the contest so I am thrilled.

    Blessings

Nice little sonnet here. Correct form, correct meter and rhyme scheme, and it frames quite nicely this sublime romantic scene of the soft colors of sunrise and sunset. In that image is the warm glow of love, and the peace that brings to the lover. estory
