This is very good. The rhyming to match and comparisons in detail. How ones words can pull you in like a violin. This caught me. Also the picture used describes the start of your writing.

That is just what it's like, a poet's words can pull you in and soothe our minds. A soft poem of love, of faith, read gently, is like balm to a wound. This is such a lovely poem, and a real pleasure to read. :)) Sandra xx

Dear Sugarray, I often see your name in the Winners Circle, and it is because of poems like this, that I find you there.
But I am aware that you must write many other things, that do not win, so I would like to Fan you, so that I can see everything that you write. I hope that is OK with you.

A Sleepy Poet
by Sugarray77

Your poem has a peaceful quality. Excellent Rhyming Quatrains....nice rhythm. Nice alliteration and imagery. Beautiful presentation. The rhymes do not seem forced.

Your poem flows well. The structure makes sense. It draws on emotions. it presents strong images..

Good Morning, Melissa!
What a serene and beautiful offering. Your rhyming quatrains are flawless in form and delivery. But what I appreciate the most is the message of the final stanza:
Her words are chosen carefully,
entrancing you so peacefully,
to shed your angst as you recline,
while she beguiles you line by line.

Thank you for sharing!
Happy Easter!

"A Sleepy Poet" by Sugarray77 tells part of a story with flowing lines and comfortable rhyming in quatrains, but it seems like another stanza is needed to bring it to completion.

    Thank you George. I really appreciate your suggestion for another stanza. Perhaps my new poem that I just posted will meet with your approval... it has more stanzas. So glad you liked it.

This picture reminds me, in 2019, I was in a cruise and I slept exactly like the picture on a beach in a hidden corner behind a hut... I nearly missed the ship. My daughter went around the whole beach to look for me. We were the last two to board...

I wish I can hear a sleeping poet yo help me to sleep because since I am home-prisoned, I cannot sleep well and I have nightmares...

Thanks for sharing this with us,

Lovely imagery--fresh phrasing in graceful flow and fine rhyme--evocative of total immersion in the world of poetry--apropos for both reading and writing. Delightful.

These are excellent quatrains. The artwork is lovely too. I love the title, "A Sleepy Poet." Is it perhaps biographical of this author? You represent this so well, I can't help wondering if you have laid in that wonderful hammock and dosed away, dreaming of poetic lines to form in just this way. Or, is this just a passing thought that wedged itself into your mind, finding ways, to make a dream come true for you? Either way, you do a fine job with this piece.
Take care,
Jesse

    Hi Jesse. I do my best work reclining in a hammock... just kidding... it is very chilly outside here in central Virginia. :). Thank you so much for your lovely comments.

    Good morning, Melissa.
    How about in the summer? Do you have a hammock to lie in, at least during the summer months?
    You are very welcome. I am happy you liked my review with its veritable comments.
    It is almost the weekend, and it is supposed to be gorgeous, have a wonderful weekend, my friend!
