Comment from Tom Horonzy
Very inspirational and genius, I might say. CLever how you named your favorite flowers but did you think those unmentionables have hurt feelings? You may need quite a few more stanzas to cover more wild flowers, like lupine, agaves, anemones , blue eyes, strawberries and corn flowers. :-)

Hi, Tom, I have a list of flowers I wanted to mention in the poem, but since it?s a sonnet I ran out of room. Many thanks for your kind praise.

I know. I was simply being me.
Comment from Carolyn Dooley
First of all that is a lovely garden. I love the picture. The woman looks happy as she cuts her flowers. It would be nice to have a garden as nice as the one in the picture. Each day you could have a different bouquet of colourful and nice scented flowers. Thank you for sharing.

wonderful poem about gardening, flowers, the peace that comes from the simple act of gardening. I like the description of the various flowers growing in Roberta's garden.

Comment from Marienkiefer
What a beautifully storied poem.
- I love the sights and the scents, the magical feeling evoked in your poem.
-Lovely image selected to enhance your words and support the theme, that like your writing stands out.
-Sparkling in your poem: your character, and her love for and walk through nature, the adventure or awe your character Roberta encounters with each bloom, and exotic floral scent.
A pleasure to read your poem, rife with feeling, movement and joy of nature. A real contender. Good luck.

Comment from Fleedleflump
There's a thoughtful pace to this that, along with some word choices, gives in a classic, old-school feel. I love all the flowers you've packed into the verse, and I'd never have known it was an acrostic if not for the contest because it doesn't feel constrained.

Hi, Mike. I am so pleased my sonnet has an "old school feel." That was my intent. Many thanks for your kind praise.

Lovely image of wandering through a garden of flowers, selecting, picking and enjoying each different type for a time of pleasure and sensual indulgence. Well written. Best wishes for your entry.

Comment from dellsworthpoet
An interesting poem. Some of the rhymes seem near rhymes, but they work. The language seems older usage and somewhat Victorian sounding. This fits well with the illustration. The flow is good and the poem stays on point.
Thanks for a good read.

Thank you for the kudos. Yes, my intent was to put the poem in the same era as the painting: hence my "older usage."

You are welcome.
