The Sonnet Project........Final Part

The Sonnet Project...Part 3 PLEASE READ: The project: The project was very simply to see if I can get about 30+ YTbers to say 98 lines of poetry to piece them together to form 7 sonnets. You guys will be the judge if it worked or not but I am thankful to all of them for taking time from their busy lives to submit the lines. I was going to put an interpretive blurb here about each of the sonnets, but then figured each one should interpret these lines thru the lens of their own life's loves and circumstances.

Not so (quoth I), let baser things devise To die in dust, but you shall live by fame: My verse your virtues rare shall eternize, And in the heavens write your glorious name; Where, whenas death shall all the world subdue, Our love shall live, and later life renew.
