This sonnet shows what love can do. It changes your character at times and give you a home you feel both free and safe. Now you have someone to roam with if you so choose.
Congrats on placing second in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Thanks so much for the review and comments. I appreciate a review from an excellent poet like yourself. I don't usually write sonnets so I was surprised to place second.

What a beautiful sonnet! You have covered many questions in a personal tone, which made for a great read. I suppose we all wonder sometimes, what if! Great work.

Comment from Patty Palmer
I love the rhythm and rhyme. It rhymes very well and the rhythm is perfect. We never know which path our lives will take until we have another one to pick from. Glad you took the right path for you. The picture you have with your poem is really great! When I see a picture, I know how I like it by whether I would like to be in that picture. I really would love to walk down this path and see what's on the other side of the hill. Good luck with the contest~

Hello Bethshelby,
I pray you are well, as well as your family. I loved your beautiful artwork of the landscape with its beautiful pathway. What a beautiful poem of fate when you found that one that stole your heart. Sometimes, life will give you a pathway unbeknown to you. This is such a lovely poem of faith. So beautiful that a true love will make life so much better and you would know this is the right love. This is such a lovely story sharing how life will bring you a different path, sometimes. This is a very nice read. You are blessed when you find your soulmate. Great rhyming in your words. Well-done, Beth. Happy writing:-)

Comment from estory
I like the conversational style of the language in this sonnet, it makes the rhyme and metric effects that much more subtle. I think its a great play on the traditional romantic sonnet; you have this idea of taking a different path to find true love. Trust in your feelings. estory

Thank you so much for the review and comments. I guess the conversational simple tone is the way I write everything. I've been told that is the way my memoir reads as well.
Comment from barbara.wilkey
From reading your memoirs I am sure you would have taken that path, because you were so happy and in love. I can't imagine any different. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us and good luck.

Comment from Kathleen S.
It is a very lovely poem, and beautiful to read. It talks about soulmates and life's journey, and where it may take us. There may be many people that read your message and think upon their own journey. It's very universal.

Comment from Willie P. Smith
A beautiful tribute to your love, Beth. I believe I would have broken
it up into three stanzas, with the two lines separated at the bottom.
That would have made it easier for these two old eyes to read. Never the less, it is beautiful either way. Very good work. I am out
of six stars.

Thank ;you so much for the review. I really wanted to break into stanzas, but I went by the example they gave which was what I used. Once I didn't use their example on something and they threw my poem out.
