Speaking of sonnets, I failed to comment on how beautiful Thomas' sonnet was
or thank him for sharing it with us.

I know that whenever I read Thomas' poetry, I'm always struck by how
smoothly and beautifully it flows. His poetry reads as though it just poured
out of his pen in its final, flawless form. Thomas, I know that you put a
great deal of work and effort into crafting your poetry, and because of that
it reads as though it just came out perfectly the first time. Just
beautiful!

Thanks, Thomas!

Greetings, one and all.

www.sonnets.org[1] is an interesting site if you want to read a bunch of
sonnets, or comments that people have made about them.  The sonnets there
are
organized by period, and you can search by author and title as well.  I have
found it to be of some help, if nothing else, to get a feel for the
different
styles of sonnets.

In service to the dream

Kovac Miklos
