Inspired By Some Interesting Poems

I read a sonnet, found it interesting, The form is best used for proclaiming love but this held naught about the joys of spring or of that fondness fitting like a glove. Instead it dwelt on questions beyond ken, eternal strife does not begin or end. As women stand one side, the other men, Can from the mire a victory ascend? There is a love that asks for no return, a giving thing that seeks another's good. But as the giver's heart is left to yearn the sacrifice is oft' misunderstood. 'Tis Godliness to give without receipt to help another stand upon their feet.

A profound and well-written Sonnet, Keith. It reminds me of a Sonnet I wrote and posted a poem that speaks somewhat of the same emotions you write about, titled, 'Give and Take'. I enjoyed reading your poem very much. Sandra
