I'll Show No Fear

Comment from SimianSavant
The higher rating on this review is in no way a dig at my previous review. This is brilliantly subtle, enough that I had to read through it multiple times to get the subtle digs. A fine piece of art, that might make me fart. Are rhymes within the same line of a sonnet allowed? I was hoping to join this one, but was too tired with work. Ah well, there is always Jan's next contest.

Thank you for the big sixer, Harambe. Yeah, I love cutting these people down but doing it poetically. Out all the poetry forms, I like the sonnet the best and I always think adding internal rhymes is a plus. I do that a lot where you have to go back and reread after you get to the end. lol I appreciate it, friend. Have a good one.

Comment from Cecilia Lynne1
"I'll Show No Fear" is well written keeping in line with the contest requirements of a sonnet. The rhyming, rhythm and story line is excellent. a little unsure whether in the first verse you intended it to read keeping the meter. "Could not a one have faith" the a one comes over for me as awkward. I leave it to you if that is what you intended. 'Could not one by faith help them to prevail'.

Thank you so much for the fantastic review and big sixer, Cecillia. Yes, I intended for it to read that way. It's still in iambic pentameter like that. I dearly appreciate the generous rating and kind words. I'm glad you liked the piece. Thank you again.
Comment from T.E. Loper
I love this! At first reading, I wasn't sure where it was going. This peasant's left weeping from laughter. It's perfect. It also has perfect structure: nothing but iambs and a turn at line 9. Great job.

Comment from Theodore McDowell
This is a very well-crafted sonnet and you seem to gravitate toward the structure. This sonnet seems to address the fear to take risks and the need to fight through such fear.
