Comment from June Sargent

Excellent

A sonnet with great imagery, using nature to depict the joy of finding true love and hoping all goes well. A little insecurity expressed beautifully in a sonnet. Well done!

what a beautiful sonnet! i absolutely love it.

it was wonderfully written and flowed nicely.

i especially love the stanza "the rushing whisper of a nearby stream can cause my mind to wonder where you are -- i seek to slip away into a dream, to feel your touch and wish upon that star."

keep up the magnificent work!

all the best - brooke

Excellent

This Shakespearean sonnet, Last Minute Jitters, has the correct format and sets the universe in motion to coincide with the joining of two hearts. Nice.

Interesting sonnet, I'm not great with form so I can't comment on that. I do like the flow and visuals in your poem. You captured a person before his or her wedding day admirably. The picture compliments your words.

Good job my fellow Poet. I was looking as I was reading for my favorite lines from your poem but it all is so elegantly written and eloquently stated that I just love the whole love poem or shall I say love story. The whole post with the photo is so lovely, very nicely done...

I enjoy crazy wedding scenes, ever since The Graduate. Wish I knew what Mrs. Robinson was saying when Ben was beating on the church window...I think you have
created an excellent English sonnet with a classic theme.

The ending of this sonnet is perfect. I don't see much perfection in poetry some days.

I was sad, but I laughed, too. I know the feeling of those jitters, as many others do. Very entertaining. Great imagery.

Fears seldom come true
When there is a light
At the end of the tunnel
Your dreams become reality.
