This 5-7-5 suite, Sleep at Eventide, has the proper formatting and imagines the days trials taking a sea cruise as the bod rests and collects strength for when the day arrives.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is a beautiful 5/7/5 poem, Gypsy. You have a special talent in finding just the right picture to mirror your words. I love the idea of the sailboat carrying wishing stars and the sun. I love this.

I loved your poem, and every one of your presentations are perfect, but for some reason the color combinations you used this time have struck me as being phenomenal. Wonderful job.

    When I try to put something together, it looks like I just threw it there.

Another fine poem, Gypsy------that's all I need, to get seasick while I'm sleeping, motion sickness during the day and seasickness at night, give me a break!

Stunning portrait and beautiful words tgat speak of the evening as minds and hearts are put to rest. Then with sunup comes the promise of new things as we look ahead.
Thanks for sharing. Hope you're having a great day.

Lovely presentation and I like how you show the narrator measures her day based on where her beloved's ship is and the brightness of the sun comes with his return.

Growing up, I lived near a creek that lead to a bay. I remember laying there at night listening to the sailboats as they moored their way from the docks. The clinking of the ropes against the metal mast. It was a wonderful sound. Your poem reminded me of that. Gretchen

great imagery of sailing in the evening and returning at daybreak

one suggestion i have is maybe to try a synonym for sailboat and shore?
like...

sleep at eventide
your ship is leaving shore
carrying wishing stars

awake at sunup
your sailboat arrived at sands
carrying the bright sun


just a few thoughts for you to splash around...
thank you for sharing!
shelley :)
