This work has reached the exceptional level

Your modern sonnet is nice about water and ice.
A rushing waterfall is so awesome to look at.
I see in the picture people are walking down in there when it is frozen.
You have what they asked for and I wish you good luck with your modern sonnet.

An interesting modern sonnet that describes this phenomenon well. A fine pair of photographs, but the poem doesn't rely on them for its effect.
One slip of the finger to fix:
And as is (it) cascades over walls,

I enjoyed your well rhymed and metered poem and the fine sentiments within. A joy to read.

This line is out of metre:

creating serious undertow.

suggest:
(creating earnest undertow)

    Thank you Dolly. You are technically correct, although i usually pronounce serious like a 2 syllable word (sear-you'd). I suppose I could use elision (ser?ous) , I just don?t like the feel of "earnest". Although the assonance of the two "ea" would be neat.

Yes, they can flow under the ice and I've seen people climb the ice. If they go through, we'll find them in the spring. What a wonderfully written poem. Best of luck with your writing!

Have a great day, and God bless.

    Thank you Mike. That wouldn?t be too good for those climbers for sure.

This is very interesting. I haven't seen a sonnet in this format before. I like the variation on the classic form, and I found the topic just as appealing. I've never seen a frozen waterfall, but now I want to see one in person.

Well done.

Very nicely matched to the photographs choice and I personally like when a poem type is modified as I like to do that myself. Thank you for Sharing your poetic style and Good Luck with future projects

This is very nicely written, and I enjoyed reading it. When I was 11 years old, I would have the opportunity to to go and see the Minnehaha waterfalls. I was truly blessed. Patricia.
