I am always impressed by poets that can construct any type of Sonnet and especially those, like you, that make them lucid and flows well, not seem forced poetically.

Thank you for the validation.
Comment from Jeffrey Ford
Hello, I think that you wrote a very creative poem. Its great to experience love on a beautiful beach, and you gave very great description of it. I enjoyed the line "Carefree sweethearts view waves above the strand." There is nothing like sitting on the beach with a loved one listening to the peaceful waves. This is a very great poem and thank you for sharing!

Hi Jeffrey! Where you been? Thanks for dropping in on this sonnet.
Comment from lyenochka
I'm so glad you get to keep learning from Jim.
I like the sweet way you show the narrator's desire but alas, apparently this relationship was not to be.
Does the spenserian sonnet have to be iambic meter also? The following lines were not iambic in my pronunciation:
"and I would start each day atop marshland." (I say MARSHland)
Carefree sweethearts view waves above the strand. (CAREfree SWEEThearts)

I am not first generation English speaking so we probably will not find common ground on this , but thank you as always.
Comment from Jasmine Girl
I actually like the original version better because it has more of humor in it. Now it doesn't seem to be as sunny. Maybe this meant to be a free verse. Still I like it a lot. Can you tell me what does the last line mean? What does "bombed" mean here?
thus this short-lived romance, at last, has bombed.
Well done.

Bombed, slang for failed.

Hello JLR,
Nice piece of Romance Poetry in the form of Spenserian Sonnet meeting the desired norms, having impressive phraseology, smooth flow with lovely rhyming scheme, and beautifully depicting LOVE culminating in the last two lines.
Laudable Attempt!

Comment from Janice Canerdy
Your sonnet is excellent--skillfully written, vividly descriptive with an appealing blend of figurative and literal language--and of romance and nature. Then that last line slapped me right in the face!

JLR,
This is a well done Spencerian sonnet about love found and lost quickly. It shows how capricious love can be.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Hello JLR,
You've written an excellent Spencerian sonnet
with very good linking rhymes and a excellent
touch of humor in the last line.
Personally, I try to avoid internal rhymes,
such as "glide in stride," in sonnet forms,
especially if there are close together.
You could simply use "step."
The descriptions are excellent and the final couplet
brings a smile to the reader.
Well done.
Robert

Comment from Sanku
The form of spenserian sonnet is very well adhered to with the appropriate rhyme scheme.
The short lived though the romance is , it has left a distinct marks on the persons psyche.Juxtaposing emotions and waves is a very good strategy.
