Well done. I like the language. For the most part conversational and not self-consciously forced into rhyme or meter. Good job. And I agree. Sonnets are difficult. But absolutely worth all the effort.

That eddicated friend is back on FS and I hadn't noticed! That probably shows how much time I (don't) have for juggling balls or time machines. Excellent and elegant sonnet, SA and I DO love to see one that fits the form while playing fast and loose with the expected subjetct matter.

Comment from Dawn of Tomorrow
LOL Mercury is quite the fella though, oh the things he can teach. I'm glad you have such a good friend in him. I love Rob to death. He is something else, I don't know if you remember but he and I use to duet on occasion, back in the day, oh the days. You did well on your sonnet, I very much enjoyed.

Comment from pome lover
well, for whatever reason (someone bullied you?) you thought this up, you really did a good job -
expressed yourself well. I'm not sure, though, how you finish a fight with wit - even though you say it is all figurative. maybe a verbal fight?
at any rate it's a tough account. lots of angst. well written.

Yes, you got it, Pome. :) It is a verbal disagreement type fight. Not literal. Many things in poetry are really about a symbolism of something else I find, don't you? Thanks for the review.

that's true. There are times, however, when I'm not sure - symbolism? real?

I like the message of this. Standing strong in the midst of adversity and not backing down from it. You've done a fine job in describing all of the elements of this. I enjoyed reading this. Great job and well done Scarlet!

Hey thank you!
Comment from Pamusart
Feisty, eh? I am a fighter but only when pushed hard. I choose my battles and try to avoid them if I can do so without sacrifice on my part. I would never stay with a man who abused me. First time, I would be gone. If he kills me, so be it. I have never had a man abuse me. Thank you for sharing

Yeah it was more figurative. Not literally about someone picking a physical fight but an emotional one. :)

I am so glad you added your author notes about not needing help! :) This is so well-written, I first thought you'd been the one to have suffered greatly. This is a good topic to bring into the light for many that are victims. So glad you shared!

Yeah, it was more a metaphor, but I thought I'd throw that in there for the sensitive and kind hearted folks like yourself. :)
