Stunningly beautiful.
Would like to morph myself in to that visual right now.
It is prsitine and serene as is every poem you write.
A pleasure to read and review your work!

An enchanting photo, Tom, and a lovely, lovely sonnet. It works so well as a Pantoum.

Sad that you missed the contest - I would vote for this one.

Hope you had a lovely weekend. I'm back (I hope!).

Very well expressed and I can see from the image how you were inspired for this poem.
The repeated lines were carefully chosen and very effective within the poem.
This Pantoum sonnet has been carefully crafted and gives a sense of vibrancy and life to the natural wonders of the park.

The rhythm of the repeating line almost cause this write to sing.

The beauty of the lake added to the beauty of the write. Oh how I would give anything to be able to experience such.

Good write, my friend.
Have a great day by that lake. I wish I could join you.

Best wishes,
RG

Sorry you missed the contest, but am glad you posted your Pantoum Sonnet anyway. I agree; there is no better way to spend a day then viewing a beautiful body of water. You've captured the mood perfectly. Well done!

This work has reached the exceptional level

A fine one from you friend once again!
Am glad that the rating I was supposed to give you in the other poem has a chance on this one.
Beautifully penned down with an all ten syllable in each line.

Sorry about the contest!

Thank you for sharing your delightful day by the lake both with your photograph and your splendid Pantoum Sonnet. I'm sorry you missed the contest because this entry certainly would have been a contender. I enjoyed your "music" metaphor and hope you saw at least one of your avian friends. Happy Sunday- Joan

There is such a tranquility and warmth in this piece. It is like one has to do nothing but watch the beauty of the lake. The picture adds to the work in enhancing that sense of enjoyment of nature's wholesomeness. Well done, Tom.
