Hi Poet,

The picture is beautiful and you gave it worth with your well written nonet poem. It's like they clasp arms and become great friends.

Your poem is in good syllable count for the nonet, but I'm not a fan of lines that leave words like "the" hanging at the end
nice alliteration in soft sweet sounds
beautiful descriptive detail creates a lovely serene mood :-) Brooke

    I agree with you completely and would not normally leave 'the' on the end of a line, however, in this instance, simply due to syllable count, I could find no other word with which to flow to Soft sweet sounds... articles are difficult to find a sub for at times. I appreciate your thoroughness. Glad you liked it overall.

This is a very beautiful poem and the poem paints a very beautiful picture too. I never review on poetic style as I am not a poet and my ignorance would soon show. Good luck in the prompt. God loves you and I do too.

I think this is the kind of poem that is really showcased by this form. Your art work drew me right in. It's all about peace ad serenity. I liked the inner line rhyme.

Very nice and well written. Writing a meaningful sonnet that is structurally sound and conveys a real emotional meaning to the reader is difficult, but you have done it well.
