I enjoyed the romantic idea illuded to in this beautiful love poem. I especially liked your question, "Can love begin as lust and still be true?" Your clever unexpected twist at the end produces a chuckle and demonstrates your skill as a poet. Best wishes in the contest.

Un-named sonneteer, this is an ambitious personification using a very challenging formal genre...Not only does this write have the tell-tell WS rhyme scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GG; intricate internal rhymes (wreathed) in combination with enough alliterations to provide a melodious tint to the non-sensical, whimsical ditty! I enjoyed unwrapping it. Good luck in the contest. teafor2

A great poem about the expectations of a new love that seemed very promising, but was as soon rejected. He's overtures were rejected in one swift move. The best of luck. Ulla:)))

I struggled with this I read it three times all with the same emotion and and thought process it was like a rollercoaster ride for me I'm still trying to figure out my meaning I know it's a confusing reply but this is how I feel God Bless

Are you talking about the same "going down" as I think you're talking about when you speak of a banana? LOL!

I agree that brown ones are better, especially for the nutrients (and for smoothies!).

This is like an erotic poem about a banana ending with a twist (of citrus).

This is delightful, and very much outside the box for this contest. I like it, and I hope the voters do too.

At the age of 81, nearly 82, I feel a oneness with both the one being rejected and the one doing the rejecting. Neither is pleasant, but ultimately necessary. Too ripe or not ripe enough can leave a bitter taste in one's mouth.

I'm so glad I read your notes and recognised the authorship! So silly but I can't deny the quality of your sonnet, despite the inevitable pain and anguish you must be experiencing as a result of this callous rejection. Your internal rhyming is an additional delight as too the coloured font in the rhyming couplet. Like the visual too. So a complete package and a winner for me:=) Good luck! Debbie

    Thanks very much Debbie! These sonnets give me a lot of trouble to construct, though they are worth it in the end. Not sure my poor banana can say the same though. 🦍

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is exceptionally beautiful poem. The imagery here bears the signature of a talented poet. 'Can love begin as lust and still be true? 'For lust confounds the search for faithful mates'.
Well done, my friend. Good luck with the contest.
