Is this assignment for Elaine complete?

Question

No, it is not a pure sonnet.

Praise to a Sonnet

A sonnet, in classical form a charm

soft as sun dawn, it wakens spirit love

calling you, wanting you, it takes your arm

and whisks you away on wings of a dove

There it holds you with its perfect meter

Lullabying with it’s iambic tone

Nothing does compare or could be sweeter

Than the dance of love as poets have shown

So take my hand and let us dance today

With these magic words penned so long ago

We shall taste them, taste them without delay

So succulent it makes our souls to glow

A sonnet, lovingly given… hold tight

As dawn’s first light makes your spirit take flight

Answer 3

You have an A+ for completing your assignment. The metaphor of tasting words and finding them succulent earns you extra credit.

Answer 4

I know not of Elaine's assignment

yet I can tell you this

I've always thought a lullaby

was to lure one into sweet slumber.

This poem redefined what I thought I knew

for it AWAKENED my soul

and took it to heights anew.

Thank you, ma

Answer 5

I know it's not a bonnet, and it sings to your dance, so it must be a

sonnet of romance.

Bravo.

Answer 6

I must have been delivering the attendance to the office when the assignment was given.

It may not be a pure sonnet (though I don't know for sure), but it was pure comfort to read.

I didn't count all the feet and all that but it has (what I lack when attempting a sonnet) a lovely, singing voice.
