Comment from skye
This is so good. The metaphor of sailing and writing is wonderful. You carried me through the initial beginning, when the sails fill with inspiration, through the rapid movement, to the lack of wind to move forward, to anchoring in still water.
Excellent. Perfect lines and rhymes.

Ron, you never cease to amaze me with your natural talent for sonnet. Both rhyme and structure of lines flow to perfection from your pen. I love this one, as it describes perfectly how ideas ebb and flow. You, my friend, are a master of this craft. Good luck in the contest.

Hey, Kim, hello. Thank you so much for the fantastic review and the big sixer. You're the best. Yeah, I was in a sonnet mood today, lol. I haven't been doing much of anything on here lately but goofing around with silliness. I figured a serious write was in order. I dearly appreciate the gracious rating and kind words, K. I'm humbled. I'm glad you liked the piece. Thank you again. Have a great day.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
This is a lovely Shakespearean sonnet in perfect iambic pentameter. This new display design certainly shows of your picture - it's positively gorgeous. Lovely final couplet. A good entry for the contest. Good Luck - Regards Dorothy

Comment from Dean Kuch
Ah-h, such a poetic and lyrical sonnet, DragonSkulls. Most would simply scream, "I've got writer's block!" at the top of their lungs...but not you, my friend. You wield your magic, talented quill and present the topic on a whole new plane.
I'd say you've got a winner here...
Wonderfully done, perfectly executed.

Hey, Dean, what's happening, friend? Thank you so much for the fantastic review and the big sixer. Yeah, I was in a sonnet mood today, lol. I always love to write how I'm losing my muse with a intricate write that totally goes against what I'm saying, haha. I really appreciate the generous stars, D. I'm humbled. I'm glad you liked the piece. Thank you again. Have a good one.

Comment from ELumpkins
AH, for the sea and a full sail. This a well written piece and it makes the reader want to get on board and set sail. The piece is well a pleasure to read, as it flows smoothly from one line to the next. It brings back memories of younger days.
Well done.

Hi DragonSkulls, what a lovely sonnet. Your metaphors are excellent and convey a good story of waiting for the muse to inspire. Alas, there are the days when nothing happens. Best wishes for the contest. luv jada

Good use of the sonnet rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good perfect rhyming with mast/cast. Good alliteration with my/muse...woes/windless...while/where...dream/distance...again/anchor's. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message.
