Hey, Michael, hi. Thank you for the fantastic review and giant sixer, friend. I actually post a lot of stuff on here but it's usually for 'blind' contests. Every once in a while I join a site sponsored contest that shows the author's name. Glad to see you jumped on as a fan, M. I really appreciate the generous rating and congrats. Have a great weekend. Thank you again.

"A Lover of Sonnet's", is an extremely well-written and deftly descriptive piece. Every line of this talented poet's work is woven with the golden threads of truth. To me, this is a six, but I'm never given enough of them.

Comment from Elaine Chiodi
It all comes together smoothly: rhyming scheme, sentence structure, painting. It was the title that drew me in and I'm glad I stayed for the "sonnet calms the soul." Ahh, Shakespeare - may he, and you, be read forever!

Hello Mystery Poet!
An acrostic in praise of sonnets = Kudos for form and creativity!
I write abysmal acrostic and sonnets, so I deeply appreciate the forms and substance of your well-crafted poetic offering.
Thank you for sharing!
Best Wishes!

Thank you so much for the fantastic review, Diane. I like to challenge myself a little more by trying to pull these off. Lol. I love sonnets and acrostics, so why not put the two together? I dearly appreciate the gracious stars. I'm glad you liked the piece. Have a great night.

I do as well!
However, my challenge is a pure, unadulterated flop this time around! GAWD! How embarrassing! I truly do enjoy your poem!
You have a wonderful evening, too!
Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello mystery writer. Your poem is very clever and innovative in my view. You've taken the theme of admiring Shakespeare's sonnets and converted it to an acrostic with a unique spacing in indenting format. Good luck in the contest.

A very well-written acrostic sonnet that us skillfully executed. Shakespeare would be very impressed with your sonnet you wrote in honor of his sonnet writings.

This is an amazing poem, my friend. So beautifully penned combining these two types of poetry. I have read some good poems for this contest, but this outshines them all~Debbie

Comment from Gloria ....
Bravo poet! I too enjoy the sonnet and yours is of course sublime adhering so perfectly to the framework of the form and an acrostic too!
Excellent sonnet and great luck to you in the voting booth.:)

Comment from CrystieCookie999
This is great, to teach not one but two poetic forms simultaneously. I like this line, as if it is describing antique books: On aging pages worn from overuse
and also I like this line: The sonnet calms the soul in metered rhyme.
It seems that is one of the principal reason sonnets are still being written. I think you can take the period out of after 'rhyme' there. I also think I would put a comma instead of a period after the word 'provide.' Nice post!

Comment from damommy
That was quite an undertaking, writing a sonnet into an acrostic! Great job. I love the 'old' feel of the wording. So many sonnets today are too modern for my taste. It's true that few know how much work goes into writing a sonnet, and they will indeed 'stand the test of time.'
Good luck in the contest!
