A well articulated piece of poetry, nicely encapsulated and subtly penned with insight. A lovely poem indeed. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.

Not that great. The rhyme scheme is distracting and takes away from what the poem is supposed to be about....whatever that is...I couldnt quite grasp it myself. Its to formal, not enough emotion; lackadaisical and full of undeveloped whims. I did not enjoy it.

Indeed, this poem reminds me of one of the greatest musicians that ever lived: Ludwig van Beethoven. Heartfelt, descriptive, and beautiful; a poem that deserves a ten! .

Nice structure, and tone to describe the surroundings and sounds that are thought to be heard by the deaf narrator.

Very pleasant to hear that, anyway Beethoven in his last life had hearing problem but still able to create a masterpiece work, if we know how our love on work is...a pure interest i mean we still capable to make it works well...just a true determination will determine the quality of our result_Soul

To quote Dr Johnson. 'You poem is both good and original. Unfortunately the parts that are good are not original and the parts that are original are not good. ' Did you think we wouldn't spot Wordsworth....; -) ?

Very beautiful sonnet. Shakespeare will be proud of this. The rhyme scheme is just perfect. The opening stanza draws you in and before long, you are tapping our feet to the rhythm. Well done
