Michael,

A powerful, emotion-filled sonnet that was hard to read.

line 6 = 11 syllables
line 8 = 11 syllables

Also, 'flavours' is trochee I think.

Anyway, great sonnet.

Ben

Sir Michael,

I like the words you used here, as sir Ben said it's full of emotions. .

and here's my favourite lines

My childhood sang whenever you would stay,

The games we played the attention never waned.

You showed that sun is kept within the hay

and then in a blink you merged with summer rain.
^^^^^
A very fine imaginary and a powerful throwback. ..

A 5/5 for you

A beautiful piece with strong emotion. Well done

Mr D, yet another wonderful sonnet. I do hope like Kasie, they come naturally to me with the workshop otherwise I shall throw my toys put the pram.. In seriousness this is lovely and as always I like the spaces. I do believe this is about someone you were close to that has passed on but their words of encouragement have always lived on.

1/ A great opening that shows many years have passed I think since you lost this special person you were close to. I like the imagery though sad of their person etc (flavours) still being around you. Their words of wisdom are good here and very promising,

2/ Now, I feel this is about a grandmother as this part reminds me of when my Nan used to stay over the Christmas/New year period and we would play many games usually card/board games and times were always good. I love the last two lines here I feel that it's about seeing the happiness despite everything and then she became ill though I am probably wrong.

3/ Even through the heartache of losing this special lady you stayed strong and the words she would say stayed I printed in your mind.. That's what I think anyway. The imagery of a heart weeping but not breaking is very vivid.

Couplet/ Loved this part.. You may not be able to see her but she lives on in her words.
Beautiful even though somewhat sad.
Take care, Em

Michael, such a lovely sonnet and a beautiful tribute to your grandma. If we are truly blessed we have at least one person in our life that just makes us feel like we are the most special person in their world. I can definitely tell she was that person. Well done-

Sir Michael,

This is a sad yet lovely dedication to a lost relative ...I like the way you remember this person and her words of wisdom. .. Nothing more to say coz Em had a time digging this one. ..

Well done as always
