Very nice presentation of beauty. I love the picture and the poem itself rings with truth of how beautiful little things we can see and feel and hear are. This poem could bring in the sight to a blind person.

It does have a touch of Shakspere. Love the way it reached out and pulls the reader into a peace. I hope you the best in the contest. Blessings to you.

This is beautifully written. Nice work and may you find good luck in the contest. I like the pictures you painted in my mind of the changes at daylight and the darkness of night. Blessings, Pat

I enjoyed reading this poem and the accompanying image. I find the skyline extremely inspiring. I think God must be the greatest artist ever!

I liked these lines best:

Tonight I'll pray for those who cannot see
the beauty that is ours eternally.

Thanks for sharing and best wishes for the contest.

It's a beautiful poem with vivid picture. Your selection picture adds more grace. But the couplet can be more strong, I think. Wonderful rhyme scheme. Thanks for sharing.

Your poem really does convey a feeling of stillness and tranquillity. It also has a good message to feel compassion for those who cannot witness the delights of Nature around us. Excellent rhyme and rhythm. Good luck in the contest. Faye

Excellent rhymes in good English Sonnet format. The meter stays consistent throughout the verse. Strong emotion echoes the sentiment; a lovely write. Good luck in the contest. Kenny

Comment from Dobson

Well done. Beautifully captured and the language is rich and you have created some very effective imagery,'sounds of day become like sand' for instance.The repetition of 'still' is good and sums up the mood. The only line I'm unsure about is the last line in stanza one.

A sonnet in perfect iambic pentameter - a true English style sonnet. Good iambic pentameter. Good rhyme scheme in abab - but I question the use of sand which you needed to rhyme with land, sounds a little contrived. Good use of metaphor in stanzas l and 2 with a good turn in your third stanza. Very lovely final rhyming couplet. Stunning sky picture. Good luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy x
