Comment from Erik McGinley

Excellent

That picture is incredibly beautiful and I like the poem that goes with it.

What a nice way to express that empty feeling of absent inspiration! :)

This sonnet is nothing less than a smooth, satisfying sail down your page and I believe that your Muse was like a bird, settled on your shoulder, for the whole trip.

This is a beautiful presentation. The picture and color choice complement your words - this, to me is top drawer and I give a standing ovation and a 'More Please'

I am a form dunce have a hard time with them myself but that does not mean I cannot appreciate and be a mite envious of those who do them well. It was a pleasure to read you today - Dinah

Thank you so much for the outstanding review and the big sixer, Dinah. I've always been a fan of the sonnet form and try to compose them as gracefully as one can. I dearly appreciate the gracious stars and kind words, D. I'm humbled. I'm glad you liked the piece. Thank you again.

I think this great! Truly a wonderful metaphor describing the doldrums sometimes encountered when searching for inspiration to write. It is beautifully written and I will mark it as one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing this marvelous work...Robert

Oh I just love it. Dang, my anchor has been at rest for over a year now. What a great way to express how the muse comes and goes just as the wind against the sail. Very nicely done. I wish you great luck, this is one of the best I've read and great overall presentation. Nice work.

Oh, I like this and sadly, can relate very well to it as of late...my muse it seems has sailed without me!

Great flow and form. I'm not really technically skilled with meter so don't let me lead you astray...this just sounds good to my ear.

Good luck in the contest!! :) Carrie
