My Love, My Elizabeth (Sonnet)

My first instinct when reading this is a vampire seducing this woman to become his new lover. I swear, when reading this...it feels like a movie! I can see them waltzing around the room, him whispering words into her eyes, hypnotizing her into a swoon.

You're descriptive words always blow me away <3

I love the sonnet! It works perfectly with this because, I always think of sonnets to deal with romance in some way. This is perfect because you have a little of the dark and eerie with love! <3

This read as if it was taken right from Shakespeare's collection. It's so elegant and classical, and everything from the rhymes to the imagery seem so effortless. I was intimated by sonnets and never considered writing one, until today. But this has inspired me to give it a go. Favorited!

Wow Maple, very well put together. I find sonnets are usually very simply written with no need to read between the line sor study the poem, they become very clear and flow fast. This one I found to be very unique and I found myself reading back over previous lines getting different images. I also got different tones, not just darkness but of hidden romance, loss etc. It just seems to hold a lot more between the lines than what is said.

Your wording is just amazing, I do not know how you do it. Very powerful, well done. xx

Yes Luce, you are correct! It is about a vampire and his taken one- Elizabeth ~ I wanted to take that darkness and make it romantic ... in a deep, morbid, dark way.. I see sonnets as romantic...and that was the twist I took on this piece, thank you!

When I read this Sonnet my first thoughts were Vampire!

how the vampire seduce Elizabeth and stripped her life plus blood. It created quiet a scenario where they are waltzing while the vampire seduces her... I loved that about this piece. Specially, to create a visual with a sonnet is pretty tough.

Well done!

Ps. I don't know if it was about vampires but that's what I thought.
