I would like to nominate this Sonnet, Verdict for the originality of subject and theme, as well as the freshness of many lines - the Sonnet reads smooth and unintrusive.
Verdict by Cleo_Serapis Inside her mind, an act of treason calls to tempt those shattered dreams she can't erase from years of blood and thunder; her disgrace parades itself on camouflaged red walls. For one more day her life is all but dead to him who casts black stones, scapegoat instead. First light will bring her justice; Heaven knows. Her silent screams have echoed through bound halls; truth’s harmony soon finds it’s just embrace. Exploits by perjured then profess their place, releasing her from years of bitter brawls. Once victim, now our victor finds her voice and freedom from the bondage she once chose… ‘Not guilty’ is her verdict; she’ll rejoice.

Lovely Merlin. I especially like how the end twists. I had to look back and see how you managed this enchantment. Very well done.

Hi Michelle,
I'd be honored if you offer a critique on this one (as this is my first sonnet) if you have time. There's a link to the thread above in Liz's opening remarks. This was actually mused from a times ten challenge, believe it or not. When I read the words, I thought of an abused woman for some reason and went with the theme from there. Best of luck to you as well! ~Cleo
