Comment from Janice Canerdy
Wow! This piece is quite an accomplishment--a Shakespearean sonnet with perfect rhyming and metrical patterns--and an acrostic poem.
You have movingly described the unique charms of the sonnet.

Comment from LyndaS
Long live Shakespeare indeed! This is an amazing post. Both a sonnet and an acrostic reminding us of the purity and lure of sonnets. Well formatted and your art is very enhancing. Your message is clear and well presented. Good luck to you, poet, in this obscure contest. Very well done. Lynda

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
A beautiful sonnet and acrostic and I am a fan of your post because I adore sonnets. Your words are well metered and also an acrostic, a difficult write to achieve, but you managed to make these words flow like a dream and I enjoyed every word, I wish you luck with the contest and of course I have to give you a six too, Love Dolly x

Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
This is refreshingly creative and I appreciate the effort it takes to use an Acrostic framework as the impetus for a Shakespearean Sonnet since I have written and published many. I thought it well constructed until the closing couplet which falls flat for me - "shall gracefully they stand the test of time" is poorly constructed as "they" makes no sense in this context. Good luck in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

Thank you for the great review, Mystic A. Sorry about the "they" being a bit too complicated to make any sense that it was meaning sonnets in general. I'm glad you liked it other than that word ruining the piece for you. Have a wonderful day.
-
I know that is what you want to say, but it is grammatically incorrect.
-
Might you have any suggestions? So far, you're the only one that has pointed out this mistake. I'm open to any feedback or improvement. Thank you.
-
'Shall gracefully withstand the test of time' - it implies sonnets as a whole and holds fast to the strict iambic rule.
-
But then that line is missing a subject and would still need 'they' or another word to explain it's meaning the sonnets. I'll give it some thought. Thank you again, MA.
-
No,no - read the closing couplet aloud by itself and you will hear it flows correctly. You have to make an allowance here and there when combining two forms like you are and I'd hate to see all the lovely work on the sonnet negated simply because your close reads like prose.
-
I'll think about it for a while. I'm tired from working all night and it's time to hit the sack to do it again tonight. Thank you for the help, MA. I'll see what comes to mind. Have a great night.

Comment from Cindy Warren
It's amazing how you did that! I don't think I could. It's part acoudtic, part sonnet, and it's very smooth and readable. An amazing feat for an acoustic. You may have a winner here.
