I was with you on this walk and felt the experience as I used to own a house in the south of France and walked beside the sunflowers in my little village, a fine sonnet, well metered and rhymed, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Comment from Earl Corp
This is probably the best sonnet that I have ever read on Fanstory. You did a very nice job with a great rhyming scheme. Good luck in the contest. Stay safe and stay healthy in the new year.

Comment from Sally Carter
A lovely interpretation of a beautiful picture.
Great meter and imagery throughout. I love the field "awash" with flowers, and the super alliteration in the last line.
I can't help thinking that with a little bit of tweaking you might come up with a more natural use of words for the last line of the second stanza, where the word "do" felt a wee bit clunky for me.
Nevertheless, a very pleasing read.

Thank you so much, Sally, for this great review of A SUMMER STROLL. I will indeed re-examine the last line of stanza two. I appreciate the close reading and suggestion.

Thanks. My pleasure.

Sally, I took your advice and substituted another word for ?do.? Please tell me if that word works for you.

You've painted a lovely picture and story in your sonnet . I like your interpretation of this Monet painting. Good rhythm and rhyme as well. It's fun to read a summer sonnet today, as I just shoveled about 4 inches of snow. Best wishes in the contest. Blessings. Carol

I am delighted you like my interpretation of Monet?s painting, Carol. I truly appreciate your praise of my rhythm and rhyme, too. I also shoveled snow this morning.

Comment from zanya
Here is a gem of the Sonnet form -, inspired by a painting of Monet's 'A Summer stroll'- connecting so effectively with the mood and color of the art work and inviting the reader to share some of the experiences
