Lovely in sentiment and in delivery. You do a wonderful job in presentation and in selecting musical accompaniment for your works, Dawn. Your opening stanza says it all, but the following ones add to the impact of the loss of love.

Hi Dawn, I really admire anyone who can successfully do sonnets. This is
lovely, and the music is too. I always like the rhyme like this ... Every other line really works. Keep up the great work! x

    Ahhh, Suse, you spoil me, but don't stop - I love it! I truly think you could write anything you set your mind to though. Thank you for this amazing review!

Hi Dawn,
well, here you go again... floating me into rippled waters... watching reflections of what could and should of been, just end up as a reminder, a lesson to another life and time.

I'd say Cupid did his/her job on the first Valentine's request... the rest is up to commitment, compromise and compatibility.

Love this entry into the Valentine's Poetry Contest... it is beautifully metered and rhymed... and as per usual, loved reading your amazing limb in the never ending body of your work, my most talented friend!

All the very best in this contest!

With our thoughts we create,
a vision of yesterday.
James vx's.

Good poem with word flow that is easy to read. Also rhyming helps one to understand the message very well. No doubt it is hard to love someone, and yet not be able to be together.

Wow--not only are you prolific, but you are prepared well in advance for the next celebration! I enjoyed your rhymed sonnet, "doors" image and hyperbole in the concluding lines, plus the stunning artwork. Best wishes in both contests--you've got the $50 bucks in the bag! Smiles- Joan

    Oh, that would be nice. :)) But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves; it's not over yet. Joan, you're the best! Yes, I've had contest entries ready months in advance at times. It all depends on what contests I have entered, and what comes out...I honestly never know what will or won't; I just go with the flow. Thank you!

A lovely sonnet, Dawn, and definitely exactly the correct form to use for a Valentine's contest.

Your meter is perfect and rhymes sublime and yes, I'd say this is a strong contender.

Best wishes to you in the contest.

Gloria

A very lovely valentine and a well
written sonnet my friend. There's
nothing quite as beautiful as a well
written sonnet for me. You know it is
my favorite form. Till the tides run still.
Well done. xxx Nancy

Again - you blow me away with your talent with words ---
this is beautiful - touching and melancholy - no need for
the music - as your words set the mood themselves.

beautiful...
