This is my first Shakespearean sonnet. I have learned why so many fear them. They are difficult and a challenge to write. There are many styles of sonnets and I chose the Shakespearean to begin my endeavors with this form. rules: 14 lines, 10 syllables each, iambic meter, and a rhyming scheme off abab, cdcd, efef, gg.

Beautifully written, a powerful song of heartbreak and betrayal. Very romantic and tear-drenched. Well done!
its a lovely sonnet...the line about the tone of death was a great turn of phrase...oh the feelings stirred...hmm...
You deserve praise for taking this on...I'm too undisciplined for that sort of thing!!!
bYou have courageously and beautifully met this challenge River. Well done.
Sonnets are hard indeed, I've yet to write one I'm satisfied with. But you've done some really neat things with this one, ideas turned different ways and a very effective mournful cadence. Your hard work was worth the effort. Nicely done.
smiles...good job river..i like the memories bleeding in a red motif..
Dear River
Its very very beautiful... I enjoyed your Sonnet and I could see how difficult it is to bring it all together...
Your words ' She longs to hear his voice... passion feel indifferent' so powerful depiction of her yearning... I enjoyed it all.
Thanks for sharing...

Sad but beautiful. Nice One Shot, River.
Sad indeed....and beautiful told..bkm
(sigh).. when love is lost, it is well.. lost! :( The way we lost it simply doesn't matter.. be it death, betrayal, jealousy or boredom...
And then, all that's left is a memory sailing unguided on a perturbed ocean within the mind...
Loved your sonnet, River...
It's very beautifully written, my dear... sad, but lovely!
And kudos for your superb job on the sonnet!
Thank you everyone. I wrote one. I can't believe it. lol :)
