Kasie,

As I said in my message to you, you really do show promise with sonnets, especially as this is your first. Not to belittle this one in anyway - it's very good - but, in my experience, the more you write them, the easier they get and the more enjoyable too.

Michael's 'sonnet workshop' will be a very good idea and should be a real help to all involved over the next few weeks.

Well done and all the best,

Ben

Hello, Kasie.

This is head and shoulders better than my first attempts. You have a good grip of this form already. As you mentioned, you would like a clearer understanding of stressed and unstressed syllables. This I feel will be one of the areas that Ben will take the lead and I will listen.

Overall great effort.

Take care,

Michael

Beautiful poem.
