This is truly gorgeous Sash,
you did an awesome job on it
i've only written one sonnet
in my life and that was a long
time ago but I know if I were to
try and write another, I could
never write it as beautiful
as you do. You're amazing my friend.
Love this much.

Huggs

~ ((((((((Janel)))))))) dear heart, I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this poem

the Sonnet form can be a pain in the butt, but it's just a matter of practice
I'm still practising...lol..still trying to get them right
but one thing I do remember to bare in mind is something that Andz told me a couple of years ago
when it comes to iambic pentameter, think of a heartbeat...
I have found that the most useful piece of information, where Sonnets are concerned
and of course I did that 'Sonnet a Day' challenge elsewhere, last year
that really helped me a lot :)

thank you for reading me, honeybunch

*warm hugs*

Sash xx
