Sonnet17: Like A Tale Whereof Thou Dwell I Love Thee Comments

My sentiments the same as Lalitha. I prefer poems of brevity, clear and simple where feelings and emotions are beautifully expressed. Vivid imagery and metaphors will give a poem added spice!

it is a beautiful write, but cannot be called a sonnet as sonnets have a conventionally prescribed norm!

Here in the poem I see the wonderful imaginations and words rarely comes in daily use and I understand this is a poem surrendering oneself to the almighty in full humility and without self ego. The sentence most attracted by me is Haughtiness befalls attired thee . The expression of haughtiness in occasions of self confidence is praiseworthy and within the human character that I admire here.

Past all heat and storm, true long love reigns at heart.10

The imagery is excellent, it is well couched in Elizabethan style English or close thereto, there is nothing wrong with that in and of itself: but, it may not gain much currency today.

As if it is a dream! Thanks for sharing.
