Hello Carolyn,

I love the tranquility that this poem created in my spirit.

The opening phrase .. Linger awhile and smile (nice internal rhyme) ... is very inviting.

All the best in the contest.

Love and hugs,

Sonali :)

Good internal rhyme with awhile/smile. Good alliteration with soft/sweet/sounds...soul/stellar. The syllable count drops from nine syllables to one. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message.

Thanks for this great review.

Comment from MarjorieAnne

Good

This poem offers an invitation to enjoy and appreciate nature in a serene mood. Rhyme, assonance and alliteration are appealing. I'd change L1 to "Linger now and smile as daylight fades" (smoother without comma). The word "profundity" seems too abstract and bulky, and ending a line with "the" weakens it. "Warmth" and "balmy" mean about the same, as do "blissful" and "joy".

This was a wonderfully written nonet poem. Your nonet structure is sound. Your poem reads, and flows well. This does sounds like a peaceful poem. Well done.

Such a restful poem. You have chosen adjectives that contribute to the atmosphere you desire to share with us, your readers.

I also admire your verb choice which shows excellent progression in this flowing write from "linger", to "absorb" to "revel".

Perfect syllable count for the nonet.

Best of luck.
