The forest especially for me is intense at night. I pondered on these words and thought about the dream the author shared. I understood in the author's words why their was weeping. The artwork is perfect and gave me a vision of the forest at night. The last stanza left me in awe!

Thank you so much for the great review
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
. . . and what a beautiful dream you shared, ET.
Your sonnet is beautifully presented. I enjoyed
reading it. Each word was carefully chosen and
added to the dream-like atmosphere. The imagery
of the woods was super. I could see and hear all
of the sounds. It's amazing how that dream affected
you the way it did. The picture is serene.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Comment from Janet Foor
Paradise Found is a beautifully written sonnet with excellent rhyme and meter. The artwork fits the scene you paint perfectly.
Some experiences do change us and we truly are never the same. Maybe a little glimpse of heaven.
Well done.
Blessings

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice artwork and presentation, EM.
-A well written sonnet with a good topic.
-Effective imagery and rhyme.
-I like the mystical nature of verse one.
-Verse two continues the theme by
painting a good word picture of sound
and the waterfall.
-A good turn as you were lulled to sleep and
"dreamt of Jesus coming off his cross."
-A very good closing couplet.
-Thanks for sharing it.

Comment from leather
This poem made me think of heaven and not earth. My earthly experiences would have me sleeping in the brambles, bitten by red ants, and swatting mosquitoes while being drenched in a downpour. So, this was a refreshing read and a break from reality.
Well done.
Best wishes.

Well done, a beautiful written and well presented post, it is truly beautifully done. The scene you've described and articulated can be seen most indelibly in the soul, you obviously love the myths surrounding the mysteries that dwell in this beauty. Smooth, nicely written, everything comes together, blessings Roy

Comment from Theodore McDowell
nice poem about spiritual rebirth. I love this line: a waterfall's cascade of silver drums. You express your faith experience in a unique way through the forest imagery. Well done.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem with us. I enjoyed the sporadic alliteration, the rhythm, and rhyming scheme. The entire package was good. I really enjoyed the fairies and the gospel mingling together.

I never have sixes on Friday! This is so deserving!
Sprinkle of alliteration with cacophony/cascade/cross ...
Again with serenade/spirits/sound/saintly/silver/same...
Magical and reverent imagery take this a notch above!
(literally!)
