Great job and I think one way or another we are all entangled in one way or another in our lives.
In the first quatrain I like how you talked about both the roots and the branches at the same time. How you included the sky as well as our friends and lovers. Like the way you connected the second to last line, in the second quatrain. It sounds so good and romanticππΎ I like how you explored the thoughts deeper with curiosity and perfection. Ooo 'aye' was a beautiful and special surprise. I love how you played with it using the word 'sky' fantastic work, Mike. π€β€οΈπ€
What a great sonnet. Well done. The image is great and the words are enlightening. Thank you.
THAT PICTURE! I am going to have nightmares over that picture. I have the urge to dig every tree up to save the entangled souls after reading this. Jobs well done I believe! π±
