    If you master Iambic pentameter, then please teach!! It is the toughest thing ever!!
    I love this, and I’m not good with this form but I think you are getting there ^_^

    Milly, I say this in all seriousness: the iambic pentameter is pretty flawless throughout here. This is superb and is worthy of a win

    Nice work. It certainly puts my early attempts to shame. X

      Thank you Michael :) I'm so in love with Sonnets now that they have taken over my life. You were right - in being constrained to writing in iambic pentameter forces you to write more creatively so its opened up the doors to a whole area of poetry writing that has been illusive for so long.
