I think this is a good 'attempt at a Sonnet' as you put it.
Well rhymed, good rythm, well done.
And the artwork is lovely and a good match.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

Well, I think you are a wonderful bard on your own right and might need someone else calling you to help them with their sonnets and meter.

One's own mind is the perfect place for one's true love to dwell.

Even the great Shakespeare would agree on that one, I think.

Thanks for a wonderful piece that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Hello, this is cute and witty, I enjoyed reading it, and you add the love a sonnet is supposed to have at the end, and we get a nice surprise to find your lover lives inside. Great rhythm and flow, also.

I saw no errors, and thanks for sharing your writing, Ana.

Oh, VERY nice! I enjoyed the sonnet itself, your skillful meter and rhyme, and the lighthearted content.
For me, the feather in the picture is associated with a quill pen. Nice choice!

    Hi Katya, Yes you got it in one I thought the quill may be associated with the bard writing sonnets way back when. iam pleased you enjoyed my attempt much appreciated Cheers Christine

There are sonnet police who may ask to see your poet's license but I think this is adorably brilliant....
Your Iambic pentameter was perfect, your rhymes on the nose....and the topic, love of poetry is current, goodness knows!
