Beauty is what I see, you are beauty.
Smile lights the day, it's a beautiful smile.
Snooty you are not, are never snooty.
Beguile me with words, yes, beguile.
Poetry bitch? No, just good poetry.
Perfection you crave, only perfection;
devotee to form, you're a devotee.
Reflection of your skill, a reflection.
I know you not well yet, but try will I.
Seem like a wonderful woman, does seem.
Try to get to know you, yes I will try.
Dream of learning from you, it is a dream.
Sweetness and beauty, can taste the sweetness.
Us, the poets, you help to improve us.

Shadow Sonnet
The Shadow Sonnet was created by Amera M. Andersen, may be written in any sonnet style.
The Shadow takes place at the beginning and ending of each line as the words are identical or
homophonic. Since all poetry was originally meant to be sung or recited out loud, homophonic
words are acceptable, these are words that sound alike such as “see and sea”. (Rules: 14 lines,
9 or 10 syllables per line. The poem should have a volta or pivit; iambic pentameter is not
necessary.)

I didn't understand much from the form you used but the poem itself is wonderful.
Thank you for taking the time to post. -
This contest has attracted the best poets on the site and I am thrilled about this. This poem is fantastic in structure meter and original image. Not one line seems forced which is the challenge when composing the shadow. This is the only poem I have seen with “suck up ability” the problem with that is I love to be sucked up to. I like complements, flowers and chocolates too. I still have to be fair and judge only the poems. I’m impressed and have placed this poem in the finalist list. Good luck in the contest; it’s exciting to see the “best” compete with the best.
Love,
Amera ♥
