Comment from Valerie Fish
I'm not a big fan of the Shakespearean sonnet, but this touched my heart. A touching love story with the appropriate language, that las.stanza's particularly moving. Clever and striking picture.
You've earned a six star award from me ( rarely given )and my vote in the contest. Good Luck.

Comment from Rashanna Popoola
This poem was well delivered. It had that Shakespearean flow to it, which was on point. It also had just what a person who's away at battle needed to read so that they may make it back to their love. Fantastic Job Writer!

This Shakespearean sonnet, The Letter, has the proper formatting and makes the promises that a soldier makes and a waiting loved one holds on to.

Comment from Dawn Munro
Ah, such a letter must be every soldier's dream, and your sonnet is pure romance. I loved it all, but most especially your closing couplet. The artwork you chose is sublime, too. Good luck in the contest!

It was wonderful. You are most welcome.
Comment from Jeffrey Mitchell
The picture reflects the poem, her words offer comfort to assure him he is missed, while letting him know to be careful. Also she gives a mental picture of him coming back home so they can rekindle their love, to heal the wounds of war.

This is both an encouraging and heart wrenching Shakespearean Sonnet to someone you love. There is hope of being reunited and carrying on with life.

It was a lovely sonnet.
Comment from Janice Canerdy
This is a very lovely, moving, vividly descriptive sonnet. We all need to feel loved and know we're missed when we're absent, but this is especially true for soldiers. They need something to hold onto till they return.
