It seems I am forever learning new things from reading other's offerings. I almost "gigged" you for the spelling of "demesne" until I looked it up. Very nice use and placement of the "historic" word. Of course, I didn't take note of your author's note until after I did the looking up. Oh well, all in a day's reviewing.

Nice Acrostic accomplishment.

This acrostic sonnet, MY SONNET RHYMES, follows the vertical, first-letter theme while also forming the Shakespearean sonnet structure. In the end, we find the poet's product penned and planted here for our perusal. Nice.

I love it when someone takes that most boring of poetic forms and does something original like this with it. Lets have more of this sort of thing - an acrostic villanelle or pantoum - a sestina even. Go on I challenge you

Meanwhile this is excellent, really clever.

This is the second rhyming
acrostic contest entry I've

so well penned. My very best
wishes for the contest. May
you have a wondrous weekend. Blessings ~

A fine sonnet, good rhymes and flow and bucking the trend always brings out the critics from their dark corners, he he he.

This line is our of metre:

Even if that may mean it sounds absurd,

perhaps:

"So even if it means I sound absurd"

Love Dolly x

    Thanks so much, Dolly - darn it, you're right! I'll have to have a play around. Being constrained by my own acrostic phrase (apart from sounding slightly dodgy) makes it more of a challenge :-)

    It now reads 'Emancipation! Let their cry be heard.' - thanks again for the assist :-)

    I plum forgot it was an acrostic too! A very clever write and I am sure you can fix that line, love Dolly x

I am not a poet nor claim to be a writer, I write what my muse wants to put on paper, no rhyme or reason it just is. I enjoyed this piece and look forward to reading more of your writes.... Dreamdancer

You have a lovely presentation with the illustration and background colors. Your topic about the rules can constrict a writer is one that is dear o me. Too often I submit haiku according to FanStory rules and end up being chastised by Club Members and reviewers about the advanced rules they learned there. Best wishes.
