Boat/ship/fairy rides are so much fun. I always enjoy them better when a dolphin or two can be thrown in. LOL I enjoyed reading your contest entry and wish you the best of luck. You should so well.

Yes, Maria, I worked to craft a poem that flows and is clear. Thank you for your generous, six star review.
Comment from Dorothy Farrell
This is a lovely sonnet Andre in true English sonnet form. Good iambic pentameter maintained throughout. Good abab, etc. rhyme, good turn in the third and a very good end couplet. Such a nice subject. 'The waves refill your prints upon the sand.
They tug your toes as water ebbs and flows.' So true! Lovely - Good luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy

Comment from Ulla
Hi Andre, this reads beautifully. A very well written sonnet as far as I can see, but then again I'm not one to say. I liked it a lot, though. Wonderful. All the best. Ulla:))

Comment from wondertwin
A soothing and calming write, appropriately so from the romance of the sea's invite! I liked your word pairings, 'shore adores- tug your toes- embraces souls', great descriptive words and rhyming. Thanks for sharing :) Blessings, AmyJo

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written sonnet. When we have to go back home after a great holiday we are always sad to leave the great place where we hadva good time for a while. All good times have to come to an end.

Comment from Thomas Bowling
An excellent Sonnet. The picture reminds me of the sailor's poem. Red sky at night
Sailor's delight.
Red sky in morning
Sailor take warning.
It looks like those guys are going to have smooth sailing tomorrow.

Yes, Thomas, there was much smooth sailing and parasailing in Puerto Vallarta. Thank you for your review of my sonnet.
Comment from Dean Kuch
Perfect meter, eloquent word choices and exceptional rhyming (not to mention the romantic topic).
What more could anyone ask for in an English sonnet?
Lots of great lines in this one, Andre, far too numerous to jot down.
Or, I am perhaps just a bit lazy today, lol.

Oh, thank you, Dean, for your generous, six star review. Compliments from a poet if your stature means a lot to me. I nailed the meter here. Thanks again.

Yes, Andre, you certainly did and that's commendable.
You're very welcome.
