Excellent

A very well-written sonnet about the light of the moon that us borrowed from the sun and reflects it's light down to earth in many ways the moon affects our state of mind and we cannot control that power.

Hi Craig. This is a lovely sonnet. I especially like the last stanza and the ending couplet. It points out our desire to be with someone that we love, but you've worded it in an impactful way. Best of luck in the contest. Marilyn

I really enjoyed this well-crafted love sonnet. I admire how you describe the influence of the moon on others, especially lovers, then show how it "borrows all its power from the sun." Then in a marvelous couplet you show how the Speaker depends on his lover for completion. And your iambic pentameter is flawless. Very nice! Rod

I like this and the comparisons you use. It's very good and well thought out. The moon needs the sun and a man needs a woman. Thanks for sharing this well written work. Well done!

A beautiful love sonnet! Your form is perfect with the rhyme, meter and the twist of thesis, antithesis and the final couplet brings it all together as every loving couple feels like the moon to the other.
Best wishes in the contest, Craig!
