A truly fascinating tribute to poets of old who worked so hard to enchant their readers and in return to earn a living, in this exceptionally penned Sonnet. All poets past, present and future, I feel will forever be both grateful to those who view their poetry and respectful of their views. Wondrous inking, Richard. Enjoyed reading your amazing Sonnet complemented by a very apt and beautiful painting. Thank you for sharing...

Marie, M'Dear 🍀

It's difficult to come up with adequate words to express the sheer satisfaction from the effulgent perceptions of your acumen in grasping the scope of this piece's intended relatability to all poetesses and poets.
There are a growing number of poetic writers who have narrowed their skills to one or two forms, dismissing all others as outdated and useless in today's venue … failing to realize poetry is an endless art that is made-up of literally hundreds of forms, appealing to all its connoisseurs on some special level, many for some … unfortunately, few for others.

Thank you, Marie, for such a stellar review for this humble offering, opening your heart and mind in such a demonstrative way. I am ever-so grateful you possess the verbal acumen, intelligence, and broadminded wherewithal to do so.

Bless you truly, Dear Poetess ⁓ Richard🖌

Most welcome always, dear poet. Richest and most beautiful blessings your way also...

Excellent write and right on cue, Love this and your last line tickled my funny bone.
I am a sucker for rhyming poetry and form writes, I believe this falls in a form, but can't place it.
This is quite good.

Hi, Ryanna! 🍃
Warmest thanks for the read, thoughtful comments, and encouraging compliments to this English [Shakespearean] Sonnet.
Every poem I compose is in a poetic form; so, from that which you say, I know you'll enjoy all my poetry. : )

How happy you've made me feel that you love this piece … I am proud to be your new Café friend, too! ⁓ Richard

I write form writes myself, well I am taking writing classes, to learn how to write better. I would love to learn to write a sonnet, they look hard and kind of tricky. I am not on that one yet. I am working on Tetracty's & Diamante in which I have troubles with. It's nice to meet you as well.

A coincidence?
I am a long-tenured teacher of poetry, and I applaud you for taking poetry seriously by learning to compose it correctly … it's a shame so few these days do.
I'll be looking forward to reading your efforts.

Thank you again for your thoughtful reviews, and for finding favor in my humble efforts! ⁓ RJ : )
