Enjoyed your commentary on sonnets using this acrostic poem! It seems you learned lots from the sonnets class from Jim. And you share the trickiness of meter and end with listing the masters.
Hope you do well in the contest!

The story of the sonnet in an acrostic poem here and you reminded us of its origins and how the metre and format is not easy for everyone to write. I enjoyed your sweet story and you managed to praise the sonnet here and bring your acrostic to life, love Dolly x

I must confess to not having read all of these famous names, even though I've glanced at some of their works, but only in the last few years, I think God must have lead me into this world of writing, finding out I could do it very late. Beautifully written Acrostic Jim, blessings Roy

    Roy, I to come to writing late in this life. I do have so much to read and it is a fond challenge that awaits me every day.

JLR,

The sonnet is such a popular form, and yet, how many people do it well? Isn't that odd? FanStory has some classes you can join where you can learn several of the sonnet forms - and the teacher is amazing. But the forms are so intimidating to me. WOW.

Anyway, I thought you did a great job of kind of capturing the idea of the sonnet through the centuries. Thanks and good luck!

This acrostic poem, SONNETS MASTERS, presented with the vertical, first-letter theme, gives a hats-off to the poets who have created and fostered the form throughout history. Nice.

Well-written Acrostic Poetry. I never knew that sonnet originated from Italy. I know Shakespeare wrote many sonnets and many others. Thanks for sharing and wishing you the very best in the Acrostic Poetry contest, Kit.

What a lovely gift of esteemed poets in acrostic form. Two of my favorites are mentioned here, but all poetry is beautiful to me if penned with heart.

Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest,
Sally XOs
