I like your Shakespearean curse on infidelity.
lucky for men that women don't usually have the magical powers of your poem's heroine ... if they did, there would be a lot of men lying at the bottom of the sea.. LOL
Good to be back and reading you again.
Hugs, d

You worked hard creating this Sonnet and all your comprehensive author notes. I enjoyed it all and most of all like the story behind the poem. Your peripeteia works well. Giddy

A beautifully written Shakespearean sonnet. A tale of infidelity that conveys the total loss of hope, and the black tendrils of death in the sea. Such a sad tale. Worthy of the bard.

Comment from Glasstruth
You write a Shakespearean sonnet so well. I'm jealous. It's something I can't do. The rhyming, flow, and meter is all so natural. The third verse takes a dramatic turn, as it should. Sorry, my bank of sixes is empty. The ending, superb!!! Les

Actually it gets easier, Les. I've only ever written half a dozen, so I'm still learning. I had NO idea why I chose a sonnet form for this one. It was boring until I came up with the silver thread imagery - then I knew I was on to something worthwhile ... :)

Wow! Great sonnet! I thought writing about the picture was challenging enough! I can't believe you were able to do such a demanding sonnet about it!! Really cool! I can see why you are in the top 10 ratings!

It was certainly a challenging picture - and has been driving me crazy for weeks, so I thought I'd better get it out of my system! Bless you for your lovely six on this one my dear - I so appreciate your lovely words and encouragement!

Comment from Spitfire
Well, I wasn't expecting that! So much for a romantic cruise. Love the use of silver thread for a metaphor. The couplet turns the bliss into a curse-- the new image.
Sonnets aren't easy. I commend anyone who can pen them.

well, it takes a fellow histrionic to recognize one, hmm? And how did you know "Pirates of the Caribbean" is one of my favorite rides (and movies - the first one - but I melt for Johnny Depp). Glad you enjoyed some theatrics - thanks for leaving a few inches for me - I see you've been VERY busy with your own productions!:))))))))))))))))))))))

How the silver thread of love has turned to a state of being cursed is well stated, in flavour of Shakespearean sonnet in manifestation, well versed under extreme literary structural emancipation. 12/701

Comment from 9999pool
A promise to set sail with love.
To give that golden needle and silvery thread a chance of a lifetime - but nothing.
Empty promises were never kept.
The captain's daughter felt jilted and gave a cursed silver thread since the golden needle was never there to weave that beautiful love gone astray.
Good write and good luck.
Cheerio, hugs, Ritchie. :)).

This is such a dark but beautifully written sonnet. Wonderful entry for the contest too. The poem goes perfectly with the dark illustration. I wish you all the best in the contest.
