Good alliteration of words throughout your poem and I like your message. Your artwork choice goes well with your thoughts and I enjoyed reading it. Happy Holidays and good luck in the contest.

I enjoyed your selection of the Sedoka form and your addition of alliteration to intensify the message. I particular admired your "musical" metaphor and the image of the poet. Best wishes in the contest- Joan

I love this. It sounds like what it describes--and what a great theme. Sounds great read aloud, too. Fine imagery, tone and pacing.

Love the alliteration of W and consonance of V, C, K, Q and L sounds in first stanza as w3ell as the assonance of I.

In second stanza, love the C, M, and P sounds. Great meaning too.

My only suggestion is to not use caps on all lines, since enjambment is prevalent. Example edit:


Waiving waves wither
colliding with river bank-
tranquility's musical

Cycle continues-
mesmerized by a full moon
poet's pen pounding verses


Great theme and parallel in the closing note.

Warmly, rd

It was alright. It was dull, it really didn't talk about nature itself. Nor did it talk as much about the music of nature like the majestic melody of the ocean and the waves. How it says ''Mesmerized by a fool moon'', that specifically doesn't theoretically talk about natures musical as so much as talking about being mesmerized or caught off guard by the moon.
