Early (A Sonnet) Comments

Dear Max, As a fellow sonneteer (that is, a composer of a scant six) I empathise with the arduosity of the adventure. My first one was written at the age of 21 and has been restructured numerous times since; the other five also. Thought the genre was a dead artform but having read yours I will strive to 'perfect' one myself then post at this site soon. Thanks for reminding me. Gregory

Hi Max, Think I will have to re-read this poem to get at the roots and squeeze out its essence. The best way to rate a poem's worth is to see how many times, the poem demands to be read. The best of poet and poems have been great coz they have been read again and again... I shall read this poem again and I am sure with every reading I shall have understood it a little more than what I did earlier...!

Wonderful poem Max :)

excellent assembly of words. Well done, Max

Congratulations, Max on such a good poem. I like it very much. I am afraid I have never yet succeded in writing a sonnet - came very close once...
