Thank you! The writing often reveals dignity and elegance where I wouldn't expect them either. I believe God teaches me more about Himself as I create with words.
This sonnet is exceptional, it reads like a psalm. The imagery is so robust and full of energy, it has a very powerful effect. Thank you for sharing Mark. 🙏
Mark: I finished writing my first Shakespearean Sonnet this afternoon. Now it needs to rest like wine to allow it to please me and survive tuning before I release it to Substack. I intend to release it near the end of next week. My first sonnet is a tithe offering of my first fruits in this form.
A good month to move into, October. ~ Your sonnets bring dignity and elegance where I wouldn’t expect them.

Many thanks, Thomas ... I am in debt to your continual excellence as a goad to write more deeply.
The feeling is mutual I assure you.
Thank you for sharing. This leaves me willing to try a sonnet or two. I wasn’t aware of the other forms
Thank you, Gary – and for the restack as well. I'm glad the reading had a positive effect on you! Would love to read your sonnet if you write one.

I love that you finished one! Looking forward to reading it next week. :)

As promised, here is my first English / Shakespearean Sonnet.
