A very nice form Mr D, with a nice story to boot! Not easy to do, but you have done this well indeed :) M

I love that perpetual promise here and the steadfastness of your words. Happy to see this nominated!

Michael, what a lovely write from you! A very cool form! Love it!

Superb piece with great story, great rhyming and imagery. You have nailed it. Milly x

I genuinely don't know how I missed this, but I did, so there.
Anyway, here now to tell you I didn't miss much...

Just kidding. Love this. Mixing nature and love is always a winning formula, isn't it? To be honest, I'm not sure why I have never written one of these.

Take care, Michael.

“You bastard .... interested”

^ lol.
That comment drew my attention. Well done with the octave.

Absolutely loved this, I'd give one a go but that iambic pentameter always puts me right off lol. Good job as always though.. Maybe we'll see more of these
Take care x

The iambic pentameter is something I could never understand, but i love reading!! I also love the rhythm and rhyme of this. All together this is a really beautiful piece :)

Congratulations Mr D, a well-deserved winning piece squire :)

I can Say I really enjoyed this, keep it up but I am sure you will.. never wrote myself a Octave poem maybe I did in class but I should try and give it a shot! Love it congrats on the win.

What a wonderful form beautifully written.... Love the imagery :)

A deserving win! :D
