Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted

Just one grammar suggestion. In the second line to keep misunderstand vs. misunderstanding I would change with to and. With seems to demand a noun, while and links it closer with the verb wakes. Nicely understated.

Beth,

Interesting love trap you've written about. Technique in your free verse is awesome. Metaphors well used.

I guess the English crown is full of this incestual garbage.

Thank you Anna Linda. I think this is probably true. President Roosevelt married his first cousin but then he had mistress as well.
I apprecaite your comments.

I think this happens way too often. Some even marry in time. In some parts of the world, marrying your first cousin is socially acceptable; in the United States, it's a bit more taboo.

Thank you Rosemary. It isn't illigal in most states but because intermarrying has carries with a chance a physical imparments, it is frowned on. As you say it does happen a lot. President Roosevelt married his first cousin. I appreciate the review.

Dear poet,

This is so nice and smoothly done.
I love the opening lines...there comes a time on life when nature wakes with yearning youthful minds misunderstand.
Good strong rhymes and rhythm.
Good luck in the contest!

Emotions and feelings come forth in your words. Your poem reads like a mini movie with a sad ending. Excellent use of rhyming words and a smooth flow of lines. The last verse being two lines, fits the poem perfectly.

A well-crafted sonnet on a tender theme, love and regret. This is excellently written and so readable, Beth. I enjoyed the lilt and musicality of it all, as well as the delicately worded story of teens awakening to love and temptation. A good entry in the contest. I wish you success. MM

My very first kiss came from my cousin, Mark. We lived in different stated so nothing ever came of it. Both families were visiting out Grandparents. Anyway, along the lines of your poem, I have often wondered about half-siblings who didn't know they were related falling in love. Maybe their parents didn't tell them. Hmm, Anyway, I enjoyed reading your sonnet. It flowed well. Good luck.

Thank you Barbara, I appreciate the review and comments. I have to confess my first kiss came from a cousin to. Like your cousin, he lived in another state, so we seldom saw each other, but I can see how this could easily happen.
