In Strawberry Sonnets

PreviousNext
Let Time's prime youth have His Golden Ages
And well the wit with willowy wonder
To conspire mere men to be such sages
And boast fairest fairs of Earth's young father
Let their rhyme, be more dateless than Time
Behold of beauties of fabled compare
And speak of those leased by pen's potent rhyme
And see the unseen but without one stare
For those sweet seers have not humbly beheld
She who inspires all heavenly envy
She, mortal maiden, but in my heart held
Love's truest crown, more fabled than fancy
 For she, the beauty beyond stories told
 With such a face no immortal may mold

It is an impressive sonnet! I like it very much...You did an absolutely good job. However even though it is a sonnet, it requires a bit of grooming. Firstly you did not punctuate it at all and secondly you did it in one stanza when you could have tried doing it in two stanzas of 7 lines each. It looks a bit bulky the way it is now and you should change that. Other than that good job! Keep writing. Ciao!

I really enjoyed this piece. Your flow and word choice portrays your message rather well. And I didn't notice any spelling/grammar mistakes either.
However, I would've done the format differently to make it more clear and refined looking. Like this:
Let Time's prime youth have His Golden Ages

And well the wit with willowy wonder

To conspire mere men to be such sages

And boast fairest fairs of Earth's young father

Let their rhyme, be more dateless than Time

Behold of beauties of fabled compare

And speak of those leased by pen's potent rhyme

And see the unseen but without one stare

For those sweet have not humbly beheld

She who inspires all heavenly envy

She, mortal maiden, but in my heart held

Love's truest crown, more fabled than fancy

For she, the beauty beyond stories told

With such a face no immortal may mold

Anyway, it's just a suggestion.
I loved this piece!

keep it up

Thanks for the warm response and your suggestion! :) By the way, on the 9th line, I overlooked an error. Haha I forgot to type in the word "seer". Thanks for the reply again!
