I am totally breathless! This is an amazing sonnet and I sincerely hope you win the contest! You nailed the metre and rhymes and I adore the sentiments too. Does this mean you will be writing more sonnets for me to praise? This is a wonderful write and I am sorry I don't have a six left for you because this most definitely deserves one. I very much enjoyed this write, I am blown away by your well chosen words here, love Dolly x

I like the last two verses that I can learn how to handle and believe in my writing. This is very good advice. Excellent work! No grammatical errors. Very poetic. Thank you for sharing!

Raulm thank you!
Comment from Jasmine Girl
Wow. It reads like a Shakespearean poem because you used old fashioned words like "therein" and "methinks". Since you ask for feedbacks, I have two:
1. You used "inspired" twice.
2. I'm not sure "hardnosed" is the right meter. It's more Trochaic the iambic.
Well done and good luck.

Jasmine good input, thank you! Using the word rhyming dictionary hardnosed passes. I did change one inspired.
Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
This is a wonderful sonnet and a strong contest submission.
I love the references to three renowned artists in their own right.
You let your muse inspire you to pick up your quill and pen this verse using Shakespearian type language.
I have never understood his work without translation assistance, but the way you have composed his style, the message came shinning through, listen to your muse!
Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Precious Owuamalam
We have all been there, this is our past and present. We cannot run away from it. However, In the end, the end product of the hours of editing and proofreading soothes and clears all our grief.
A lovely sonnet for the contest. My best wishes at that.

A great, brilliant Shakespearian sonnet. You nailed the form, even mirrored the language as it has an Elizabethan English feel to it. I like the next to last stanza the best

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
The image for your sonnet is interesting, JLR, and historical
on its own. I enjoyed reading your contest entry. Sonnets are
difficult to predict with their varied forms--at least to me. I
understand the theme of yours, and it's well-expressed. Those
unfamiliar words (not in definition, but pronunciation, made it
difficult for me to even try to discern the meter). However,
that's not your fault. On line 13, I wouldn't repeat the word
mistakes so close to its first use. The notes were informative.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes, Jan

Comment from Mrs. KT
Hello, Jim!
A fine sonnet that resonates deeply with me! I, too, struggle with meter, but I am determined - as are you - to engage my heart, and soul, and think!
One thought - just as an aside:
The following line does not scan for me as iambic pentameter:
Resume, yours truly, with your pen and ink:
-/ -/- - / / - /
May I suggest:
Resume, yours truly, choose a pen and ink:
-/ -/- / - / - /
or something like that. I could be off base, but I hope I have helped!
Best Wishes!

Diane, THANK YOU!! You are spot on, the culprit was yours truly, throwing off the meter.
resolved with: Resume your craft, proceed with quill and ink,

So pleased I could be of help. I must have scanned that line seven times! Always hesitant to give such advice, but my "tapping fingers" just couldn't make it work! Now your offering is pristine!
Best Wishes!

JLR,
The inspiration of the artwork used is seen in the words. I like how you shows other artist's inspiration for their work.
I share your struggle with meter.
Keep writing and stay heatlhy.
Good luck in the contest.

Well done with this one Jim, it's really interesting how you inspirationally picked up your pen and wrote about these things. You've done a superb Bob with it. I love the information you've provided and some of the diverse types of art they were gifted in. We don't realise how many art-forms there are, beautifully written My friend, blessings Roy
