A Mate for Life (Sonnet)

Judging comment:

I've always found sonnets one of the more difficult forms to pull off without it seeming forced but Michael does a wonderful job here.

The imagery painted throughout is vivid enough that it allows the reader to visualize it in their mind while the poem itself is beautifully detailed and elegantly written, whilst the rhyming flows perfectly and the emotion is present from start to finish.

"But, if the world delivered only doom, My love would shine a light on ev'ry step'-" I adore this, the positivity that love will overcome anything, even the entire world if needed. The closing two lines I found to be seductive and excellently wraps up the poem.

Truly beautiful work here.

What a well deserved win!!

Congrats, Michael:)
