This is a beautiful poem that expresses the emotions of being hurt and closing your heart 'forever' until that one person comes along and makes you forget everything. The words are beautifully written, creating passion and discovery. Well done.

It's so difficult to say yes again. Lovely sonnet you have penned here. So many good ones already entered. Those inverted sentence, like your first line, can sometimes be worked around

In exile was my joy before your smile

In exile, my lost joy, before your smile

Very nicely penned.

The first two lines are great and pulled me right in. And, I enjoyed the rest of it. Very descriptive and your words had a smooth flow guiding the reader along. Great job.

This is a lovely sonnet, Sue. The traditional sonnet is my favorite form of poetry when it is well done, as this one is. I enjoyed it very much.

Ah you make me want to write a sonnet. It's a great form, isn't it? You presented this with true class and I have noticed no room for improvement.

I should have saved a "6" for this. Within the structure of the sonnet, you worked magic. The picture works beautifully with the old fashion feel of the poem. You blend in the fear of opening one's heart to love once again. How true. We all can only hope we get a second or (third) chance at love.

Well presented, loved the artwork. A rather formal Sonnet. I sort of liked it; I just found somehow (for me) it had no warmth behind it. But then the words are formal are they not? Well done.

    Aussie, I agree that the more formal words aren't as romantic (to us in the 21st century, that is - ha!), but I also didn't want it to be a mushy one anyway. All about the 'smile'. Thanks for your honest comments and your very kind review. With regards, Sue

Hi Sixteezkid,
Your wording is beautifully done, I entered this contest too, but have yet to write a poem, now I'm wondering if I made a wise choice. This really has a lovely Shakespearean touch. I know that's what the contest requires, but I wanted you to know you accomplished that goal with flying colors. Loved every word!

Good Luck in the Contest
Helvi :o)
