[Ahnjolie McKenna]

Beautifully written, expressing perfectly the continuity of love. Separation by distance or death, it matters not...for love is kept safely within every memory and moment. At our weakest, or even at times of achievement...we need the connection to our love. Unbeknownst to us, as we share our lives with one another...our senses are creating a collection of memories for our hearts...promising that we shall never truly be alone. Our senses are the keepers and dispensers of creativity...to allow for our loves and lives to be eternal, through art, poetry and song. I am impressed, always, by the depth of your words. Thank you for sharing...
Soft smiles for you...
Ahnjolie

Ahhh!
No one interprets and feels my poetry like you do, Dear Ahnjolie … and as much as they honor and gratify my humble efforts, it certainly is not expressed with your level of eloquence and clarity.
Your interpretation of "love" is tangible, almost intuitive in depth of perceptive grasp … it's as though you are imbued by love's essence, or you breath it.
In-any-event, there is no doubt you fully and completely fathom every nuance and facet of these two ethereally romantic sonnets.

As I, too, Ahnjolie, am {obviously} impressed by the depth and grace of your own words … humbly, most gratefully and warmly, I bow with great thanks to Thee! ⁓ Richard

Is there anything more elegant than a sonnet. Beautiful, heartfelt and as I watch it snow this poem of love has powers of warmth.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i like the connection between the sonnets...part one and part two so expressive of what real love feels and acts like...
we can always say beautiful words to another...but these words jump off the page with the emotions and hug the reader...

I am ever-so grateful, Syr Jacob 🍂
Your sentiments express so very much of that which I'd hoped would be conveyed unto my readers' own hearts, feelings, and emotions.

How happy it makes an olde bard to be so assured of this by virtue of your graciously generous review … with most thankful blessings, My Friend! ⁓ Richard 🍃

[Sarah K Cass]

Oh my goodness. This brings a lump to my throat the sheer beauty of it!

[Richard🖌]

Thank you, Sarah,
It is encouraging you felt that and think it's beautiful! ⁓ Richard 🍃

[Robert Trakofler]

thank you i didn't realize i could copy and past from the image otherwise i wouldn't of bothered you! Still haven't attempted a sonnet perhaps i will muster the courage soon. I could hear a bards voice in this with a very natural cadence and flow in its unfolding, a warm breath upon my mind (love that line) as I read the rawness of the emotion laid bare in its sincerity at first read made me recoil a bit in the shame of a prying witness. The second sonnet is a warm familiar reminder of the very things I strongly believe in myself and you conducted it so well and i need not expound on it a bit for i see you in it so plainly we have very similar beliefs. A very fine write good sir

[Richard🖌]

Not a bit of bother, Robert,
I am always glad to help a friend out. : )
Oh-boy! How I'd love to teach you the Sonnet … with your natural knack for rhythm and beat, you'd master it in not time. I mean this, too … just let me know; anytime.
I must commend you on such a beautiful review for this little pair of sonnets.
Your descriptive words of praise, appreciation, relatability, and understanding, read like poetic prose, leaving me with a sense of humble gratification and encouragement.

Thank you ever-so much, My Friend! ⁓ Richard 🍃
