Great job with the rhyme scheme here.
A wonderfully written poem that promotes the idea and concept of love a soul mate. Well written and beautifully presented.

This is a very beautiful and heartfelt love sonnet you have penned for the contest about your wife. You used very loving and good words with very good imagery from the art work you chose. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

A fine love poem and I enjoyed your well chosen words, metre and rhyme.

This line is out of metre
(indUCED me TO ASKing you to take a stroll).

I suggest:

Induced me, now together on a stroll.

Love Dolly x

Very nice sonnet in iambic pentameter. The rhyming was excellent as well as the meter. One small suggestion, though: If you phrased the 4th line as "induced my asking you to take a stroll," it would keep the iambic meter in place. Other than that, a very beautiful and heartfelt poem about your beloved wife.

Ohhh! J, my heartstrings have been plucked. I wish I was her... that woman in the poem. Why couldn't I have found a man like that who would have felt that way about me? I read these things and I'm so happy for all these brass rings that have been scattered around. All you hear about are the unhappy endings. It's nice to hear about the brass rings. :)
Have a great day.
Thanks for plucking at my heartstrings.
Susan :)

What a beautiful love sonnet, written as I imagine Shakespeare would have approved, just to think he has inspired many lovers to write so eloquently and so well Jim, this is a wonderful love gift, nicely done, blessings Roy
