All Comments on 'Six Sonnets - VI. The Lover Leaves'

So good, just makes me think and wonder.

This is by far an excellent ending to the saga of the six sonnets and the most successfully constructed of the six as well. The poem shows an appreciation of the contradictory forces that are indivisible from being human and is mature in not censuring what is natural, uncomfortable as the natural can sometimes be. Very well done.

Very nice. I liked it the best of the six sonnets, and it can exist on its own. I might have done something differently with ".....I cannot be honest

I can no longer lie...." but feel free to take that as a quibble, given the rest of the poem.
