A Spenserian Sonnet has such a great sound, which you've accomplished here. The rhyming scheme flows quite naturally. A poem about love, beauty expressed in a Edmund Spenser works well here. Great job! Les

Very lovely and enchantingly romantic sonnet, comparing
one's own loved one and their life together, that has
yielded a very happy and fulfilled relationship and
their later crop harvest of wonderful children, with
the sunshine of wife as the perfect combination of
a blissfully happy life and future. Perfect picture
ties in the theme and flow of this rich, beautiful
growth and love yielding to it sunniest treasures.
Thanks for sharing...best of luck in contest!

Adherence to the Spenserian form. There is no real volta or conclusion, rather a gentle through line that is devoid of any tension and therefore, no resolution. The couplet is merely an affirmation of all that has gone before. Cheers - DJ

This is a lovely tribute in sonnet form to the sun. We take the life source of our sun-star for granted. It is necessary survival of the planet. It's understandable how primitive people believed in it as a deity.

A lovely homage to Nature and all her wonders. Sunshine is an essential part of our lives and without it life would not be possible. Good use of rhyming and imagery to convey your thoughts. Good luck in the contest. Faye
