    -SCREAMING- This was flippin brilliant!!! WTF
    Andrea! I am just in total shock, the tears are like flowing into buckets, I swear, you penned such a piece, I cannot comprehend the whole emotion it is pouring from me....

    Seriously woman, Sonnets are your thing, you totally smashed this....

    It had that sound of total sadness, the tone of darkness, the tone of all that pain...I just love this!!!!!!!! Can you not tell?

    Only thing...-Shackles- with a "c"

    Total awesomeness right here, wow!!

    Bloody sonnets
    When I die I want to be buried with plastic bags, coathangers and 100 sonnets, all the things that are a pain in the arse to me.

    now to your sonnet.
    Awesome
    Love the flow, when you write a sonnet you have to abide by the rules, in doing so it can sometimes hamper the flow as you try and ensure that the syllable count is right, that it reads as if written in Iambic Pentameter (dont get me started on I P) that you are standing on 1 leg yodeling......(probably just me)
    I love the darkness in this, I love a poem with the word 'cackle' in it.
    I just think this is really good, really dark, full of imagery and very deep.

    I am going to have to nominate it

    Pretty good,

    Andrea, you got the rhymes, the syllable count and the 14 lines plus an eerie tone.

    I don't see the iambic pentameter here however, I don't know if it's a must in a sonnet. Aside from that it's pretty nice.

      Thank you everyone for your comments, truly appreciated :-)

      To answer your question Luce, Technically No you don't have to have iambic pentameters in a sonnet, however most do. I usually try to fit them in my sonnets, but with this one, I wanted to go really dark, and add words that wouldn't allow me to have the "rhythm" so I opted to leave the pentameter out this time. Thank you sweets :-)

    I really have no words Maple.. wow.

    Was not expecting that at all.

    You done a good job using the other titles through out your poem, it worked really well and you fit them all into the tone and scene of the poem. You should go into movie making!

    Well done for this creative piece.

    @.@!!!

    I fricking bow to thee... @.@!!!

    You didn't just toss these titles, you mangled the f'ckers together with Shakespeare's masterful form.

    I've noticed in your writes of late, your digging deep on the dark side... I hope it's helping <3

    In my favourites and nominated on Monday :)

    Another amazing poem. Such dark imagery, love it! This is a very vivid torture scene you've painted. Where'd you get the inspiration from?

    This is so different from your usual writes...very dark...very creepy. Can I suggest changing your first line to include the words stench and linger? Something like this maybe....Deathly stench lingers in shadows tonight...IMO it makes it even more scary haha!!!

    Also...the layout? You say, as is usual for a sonnet, that there should be three 4 line stanzas and yet you have them all grouped together...is there a reason for this? Not sure if it's just the formating on the site right now because I was having trouble when I was doing the Wheel of Fortune thingy...it looked like I was leaving spaces but when I posted they were all joined together...Anyway...back to the poem..really loved your ending...the whole poem had me on edge...very well done!

    Again thank you everyone :-)

    Hellon I love your ideas... I did actually have issues with the format, but I got it changed this morning with no problem, thank you.. and I love stench and lingers... but it won't fit properly with my syllable count.. thank you very much, love it when you stop by :-)

    No worries...IMO you can smell a lot of things (although I do know you have death written right after it) but..the word smell can relate to nice things also..perfume, fruit etc...stench doesn't give off a pleasant feel or thought...just my opinion :)

      I agree Hellon :-) thank you so much for your help... I love the word stench, but lingers won't fit.. so I used drifts... think I like it much better now :-)
