Never Have I Ever
Mikeydred's May 2023 Poetic Challenge In The Vocal Social Society- Mike Singleton - Mikeydred
This is a series of short sonnets based on suggestions by Vocal friends in the Vocal Social Society. I will include a suitable video as well.
The challenge is:
“Give me a subject and five words and I will try and create a sonnet”.

Dear Mr. Mikey - I've tried to be supportive of you and even did a few 'Shout-Outs' on your behalf as being so 'responsive' for all of the Youngins. Yes, we are on different 'pages' - I'm not into promos or challenges, just a simple old fashion StoryTeller, nothing more, so I see why you never jump into the 'Senior' pond. I'll *unsubscribe for now and wish you only the best. Jay Jay Kantor, Chatsworth, California 'Senior' Vocal Author - Vocal Village Community -
Mikeydred!!!!! I can’t believe what you did with this! Incredible, bravo mate
Very good. But did you forget to make "Never Have I Ever" bold, or was it by intent?
Hi Mike. I thoroughly enjoyed. A subject and 5 words to create a Sonnet! It’s wonderful to see how you collaborate with other authors to brainstorm ideas. And my sincere thanks for linking me to The invisible Writer. I read his fiction ‘Chapter 1’ of ‘The Redeemer’ and in doing so you set me on a pathway to an unexpected gift. You may like to read my comment there. Pauline 🌸
