That was super well-done, I enjoyed every line. The sad thing about this story, is that it happened to way to many young ladies back in the day when it was frowned upon to be an unmarried mum. Lied made the journey a little bit easier for them. The son in this poem, loved his mother even though he wanted to know his real father. A man that would do that to a woman, is not one you'd want to be your father. Well done, I really enjoyed this. Good luck in the contest. :) Sandra xx

    Sandra, yes times were way to Patriarchal back in the day. Fortunately things have changed for the better.

This poem is a response to a major challenge. The form, largely met, is in itself very challenging. The poem movingly records the anguish of the child to know the mystery of his father's identity and the single mother's struggle and sacrifice!

Very lengthy poem. It is well-written; except line five reads:"whenand." The poem rhymes and has seven divisions. This poem tells a story about a mom who loved and lost.

Congratulations Jim, you've made one gigantic leap forward, and you've attempted and done extremely well with this heroic sonnet, there's only been a few that have attempted, and I haven't seem one for a long time my friend. A great backstory, befitting of this original form, well done. Blessings Roy
Typo : When()and

Hi J!
Now THAT is a story in a poem! I found a few typo's for you... just little things.

second stanza... (whenand... when and)
Verse V stanza 3, you're in 2 tenses...
Verse 6 stanza 2, Complied or Compiled? typo?
Verse 7 stanza 4, (allthe... all the)

I really liked the story it was told very well.
Susan :)
