I have a cuckoo which seems to be everywhere I go. I never see him, just hear his cry lol. A stalking cuckoo. I like your bird poem and loved the picture. The poem flowed as smoothly as the stream. Thank you for sharing.

A very well-written Sestina sonnet. After winter and the cold times we were forced to stay inside our homes to stay warm. An outing into nature is just the thing to get the blood flowing again. Great capture.

Thank you for sharing. Another twist on a form with very informative footnotes. I appreciate the opportunity to again learn something new. Might we see a contest involving this form in the future? I would encourage you to create one. I would enter it!

This speaks about the ladies sculling on the Mississippi, how they flow outside row glide as a healthy therapy to help go with the flow; I liked and enjoyed the feeling, feat, fantasy flow read.

I enjoyed reading this poem, and it follows all the rules of Sestina Sonnet. This reminded me of being on the lake while camping. Your word usage helps paint the perfect scene of being on a river (lake). This was an easy read as it flows very evenly between verses. I think you picture selection really adds an extra element to this. Thank you for sharing.

It seems we're at our best when we're outside.
I know for me, it makes my juices flow.
It yields that place to let our problems glide,
... Ya know, Tom.
I may have a dirty mind, but I couldn't help but notice the sexual references here.
Of course, I'm not gonna touch that topic with a ten foot pole, heh-heh.

In all seriousness, I get the fact that this was about competition rowing.
It is a very nice, well composed Sestina, indeed.

Great work!
