The whole presentation of the poem and artwork is very beautiful and serene. This is a truly beautiful sonnet. The orange and descriptions make me feel very calm and mellow. Excellent rhyming and good, natural flow. Very nicely done, and the best of luck in the contest. Thank you for sharing.

This meets the contest requirements beautifully. Kudos for making it this far without disqualification since many entries seem to have fallen to the wayside LOL. The imagery in your faith based sonnet is wonderful and leaves the reader both refreshed and thoroughly uplifted. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you so much for sharing this with me.

As your last line implies, some just LOOK but don't 'SEE'.
Excellent expression, and vivid imagery created by your observing and thinking.
Top meter and good rhymes.
Good luck and best wishes, Ray.

Comment from adewpearl
solid rhyming in good English sonnet format
good use of steady iambic meter and enjambment to create cadence and flow from line to line
nice alliteration in fall leaves float
lovely detail of setting that creates a gentle mood
and then turns to something more somber in the third quatrain

Comment from Jeanie Mercer
This is a well done sonnet. It has correct rhyme scheme, and the iambic pentameter is correctly done (not always an easy task). I like the gentle choice of subject and love the reference to Ps. 46:10: "Be still and know that I am God." Good luck, Jeanie Mercer

Sunsets and sunrises can be magical. They distract us from petty concerns and remind us of the greater picture. This poem paints a lovely picture of the perfect time for medication
