Wow! I'm speechless! This is one of the best sonnets I've ever read... it flowed so well, and it didn't seem like a formed poem AT ALL! It was so nicely written... and such a unique topic.. |
Seriously Meme! |
Curious yet oblique. I can see now the active metaphor being described here, although widely diverging ideas arose. It could have been a poisonous snake (cobra or asp), or possibly a spiritual force, or a bandit, or a genie. Knowing that the force is 'doubt' itself, I better understand that the impact of it's touch is both devastating to your former life and generative of a new way of being. The hidden message is how an unbreachable yet conquering force both wrecks your life and deepens your future. The cliche would be 'better to have lived,' etc. Your portrayal of dubiousness as a lurking beast is powerful. However, your use of 'maturate' takes away from the clean sense of the poem. The issue as to age seems not to have connection with any other part of the poem, as though you were forcing a rhyme. Your use of 'every' as having 3 beats in line two conflicts with using it (as part of 'everything') as having 2 beats in line 4; the final word ought to be <'do> indicating a contraction of <ado>. The sonnet structure of three quatrains followed by a couplet is an acceptable variant, although it makes the dual nature of your message harder to discern: your first two quatrains describe the sudden destructive force, while the third quatrain and ending couplet portray the long term impact. Excellent sonnet! |
