Margaret Sonnets1
Margaret gains the respect of many2
Always ready to share her wise advice3
Rare she truly is; knowledge is plenty4
Given achievement her work pays its price5
Amity she naturally emanates 6
Regarding all those whom she comes to meet7
Evoking wisdom to learn all her traits8
That offers poetry written complete9
So read her work that is written with care10
On golden words her pen expels grandeur11
Not many come to equally compare 12
Never ending beauty comes natural to her13
Each Sonnet of iambs her specialty14
To not miss the beat of morality15

i believe you have great talent to pull off an accrostic and a sonnet (i can't do sonnets). itz also a great tribute to someone just by the way it was written. great job, DARK.

Melissa, this is such a beautiful work! I just love to see what you can do with acrostics. Here you give a wonderful and warm tribute to Margaret, which she so deserves!
Your words are lovely and show so much of her great personality.
What concerns the form, I think you have some lines where the iambics are not quite perfect. Of course it doesn't matter when words come from the heart.
Thanks so much for this beautiful poem and all the best with all you do!

I'm certainly no judge of sonnets (I know, why am I judging...ask Mari she just plopped me in here, lol.) but I've read a lot of Margaret's sonnets and I think you've caught (whether intentional or by chance) her tone. The similarity is in tone and how you clearly state and resolve...there is no murky ground left to wonder about your transition.
What makes this even more amazing is that you done all this in an acrostic...some of you guys scare me (which is different because my poems usually scare people for an entirely different reason!)

Very sweet words for whom in what I can see is a queen of Sonnets, ofcourse with regards to Mary6 here. Such sweetness bestowed in this effort of words given and in the time made using both forms of poetry here. Although I do not know you as a poet, it is nice to see you and the others tacking their time write for Magaret. Good luck in the contest, Cisco

Acrostics are hard enough, sonnets are hard enough, but to take both forms and mesh them so beautifully is quite an accomplishment. I do not attempt this double form very often and when I do it takes weeks to turn out anything. You have filled this sonnet with Margaret's wonderful qualities and with your own affection for her. A wonderful work!
