Beautifully written sonnet my friend, it is certainly a pleasure to read your work. I specially love this stanza...

You'll hear it in the whisp'ring willow tree
Inhale it through the fresh, sweet fallen dew.
This ambiance will set a spirit free;
it calls for us to start this walk anew.

This work has reached the exceptional level

this is a beautiful poem, the first part helps paint the image of the dawn arising.
i like how you have stated that with a new dawn the day is fresh not only with dew and the air but with things to do and experience.
i very much enjoyed reading this. its a very tranquil poem =]

I thought you did a splendid job writing this sonnet, Dawn. I find sonnets a bit difficult to review. They have a story inside somehow, and I'm not really sure what to look for. But it all worked for me.

I wish you the best in the contest. It seems more difficult than I used to think. Well done!

Dawn, a beautiful sonnet. Like the title. It reads so smoothly. "Warming glow" is a nice phrase, and the poem reflects the peace you mention in the last stanza. The idea of being on a journey is quite appropriate to your poem. judiverse

Dawn,
You have written a very tight sonnet. The picture is very symbolic of what your poem states. God's presence is just as you have written it. I've felt it. The peace in the dawn of a new day is really worth noting and you have done a suberb job in portraying it. Thanks for sharing.

Your author notes are superb-you have a good flow with your Sonnet and rhyme well-your artwork compliments your poem and you write about nature so beautifully-I like where you write(So let this comfort wrap itself around) and go on a journey unknown--a well penned write-great job.
