Comment from Clive Byerley
Aha! Now this is something that pleases me greatly I'm very fond of a good sonnet (see my entry elsewhere). Yours trips off the tongue ( I read it aloud). You seem at ease within the constraints of the poetic form, this gives confidence to the reader that you are going to offer a treat. Well done. A delight.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very wel-written sonnet about the place that was marked to be the place you will find the love of your life, and afrter everything happens that should happen and nothing seems to happen then the woman steps into your life and still are your wife.

Comment from lyenochka
Is this autobiographical? Then it's true that France is that romantic a place? Enjoyed how you cover all the senses from the sights, sounds (children playing) and smells (gardenias) in your poem. And you even invoke history from your imaginative view of the bay. Really well done!

Hi lyenochka. No, RIVIERA ROMEO is not autobiographical, but entirely inspired by the artwork. I am so pleased I could give you a sensory experience. Many thanks for your kind praise. Rod
Comment from rspoet
You've written an excellent poem and entry for the contest
that reads smoothly and has very good rhymes.
The imagery matches that of the art work, makes one want to go
dine at the cafe by the bay.
And best of all, it's where one may meet a lovely lady
who will stay for a lifetime
Well done
Good luck in the contest

Thank you so much, Hitcher, for your wonderful praise of RIVIERA ROMEO and the stellar rating. I do owe much to the artist for providing the inspiration and the serene mood you speak of.
Comment from Debbie Pope
Wow! You did a really nice job with this prompt. You have created beautiful images. I like "gardenias gamboled" and "trimmed turquoise shuttered windows." I have never heard of a "triremes." Thank you for using it and defining it.
I think that you have a winner here.

Comment from royowen
I love the sonnet. Not only is it technically good, but I love the theme. Having journeyed to many parts of the world over the years, I have been amazed at the weight of history on each location, "if only these walls could speak", or the earth, the trees, but we depend on what iscwritten at the time, by a human viewpoint.or peception, like bias, can they be trusted? Beautifully written, well done smooth and well rhymed. In abancdcdefefgg, well done, good luck, blessings, Roy
