Why I Must Write-Sonnet Comments

Right on the button Joseph. The tone of the poem raises the language above the norm. The octet raises the problem, the sextet presents the arguement. The form is impeccable. The Shakespearean sonnet has the simplest and most flexible pattern of all sonnets, consisting of 3 quatrains of alternating rhyme and a couplet: a b a b c d c d e f e f g g. Perfect.

Good write. Regards, Sally

You write lovely poems. I like this one a lot

Great job on a sonnet that was meant to be, addressing the grave issues of our time. Very encouraging Joseph - to know that someone takes these issues to heart.

Wise words we would all do well to heed, and in all times be mindful of.

Brilliant poem Joe, is it too late for our species, I pray not. Poems like yours keep us centered.

This plea for brotherhood coming from a person who has seen much life and who watch the difference between times past and times new is something which all humanity has to take serious note of! Man shouldn't dig his own grave! A culture built on tolerance and mutual trust alone can withstand the ravages of time! Such a beautiful and meaningful poem with the last two lines giving a wonderful finish to it! !

A very worthwhile plea to all humanity, if only a few people read and take note Sir, it would be a start in the right direction, .there is far, far too much heartache and pain in this world- , a heartfelt write.

Brilliant sonnet Joseph - beautifully written and with a great message which everyone should read. A brotherhood of all humanity would be just wonderful if only we could achieve it.
