Ahh- the sonnets are very different from free verse. It is all making great sense now… this one rhymes throughout, whereas free verse flows but does not particularly need rhyming. I’d say this is less of my style, but that’s a personal preference. This poem is articulated beautifully… the image of love and what it’s like to be infatuated and deeply into a partner. There’s something that makes Sonnets so graceful…

From Lovely Marina

Yet, another charming review to lean upon, reveling in its afterglow of scintillating intelligence, genuinely natural bent, with a uniquely natural prodigal, almost intuitive appreciation and recognition for intricacies and refinements of this challenging form over others.
When you're ready, at your behest, I'll teach you the Sonnet, and you'll be able to compose your thoughts, feelings, emotions … all your pen can unfold in a powerfully impacting you'll never be able to in any other form … this is the most flexible of all poetic forms, and once learned, will allow composing in all forms far more masterfully.
The Sonnet is, indeed, the Rolls Royce of poetry, a form only the skilled few have mastered.
In an opportune moment, take a look-see at this'n:

Thanks ever-so gratefully; I cherish your beautifully coherent reviews.
You're special, Mariana … warmest hugs to you! ⁓ Richard 🍃

Particularly, I enjoy how we always seem to connect just the way I meant my poems to, and the way you have of communicating with me your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and understandings.

Smile! I am so glad you liked the artwork enough to take it for your own. : )
Thank You, M'Lovely Lady! ⁓ Richard 🍃
