May I ask why everyone must dread thee?
Thou art more admirable and more fair,
If thou is full of wonders thou must be,
But nothing less than life, I solemn swear
I’ve seen thee give life to many roses,
But yet, I question if thee will not fade,
And is pleasing the glow thou composes.
By chance, or maybe nature’s untrimmed shade,
But thou’st eternal quest shall yes remain.
To wondrous miracles thous have performed,
Turning this black world to a candy cane,
To finally bringing peace thous informed.
So long as thee remains or eyes can see,
I will be at ease knowing I knew thee.

This is a wonderful poem and looks very hard to write. You did a great job though. Thanks for sharing and for the contest entry.

This is a fine sonnet in its own right, but you have negelected to include the second word rhymes as I had requested. I'm not sure how to respond, because I really like your poem, and can appreciate the work you put into it. Anyway, best of luck in my contest, and thanks for entering this excellent piece.

You have used rich language and the old english language in one poem, not easily done!
You pulled it off brilliantly.
Well done.
Kindest of regards
Take care
Sophie
