This is a lovely sonnet, Rod! And scientists now say that there is measurable mental health benefits to being in nature just as you described - a sense of peace. I liked the "talks with trout, worries fleeing like dandelion fluff and the leaf boats."

    I am delighted you discovered and enjoyed my sonnet, lyenochka. Wouldn?t it be nice to lie near a stream now? Likely, we will have to wait another five months. Many thanks for your kind praise. Rod

This is a nice form. I like how the first and last lines are the same. Your sonnet and the image have a tranquil mood. Good word choices and rhyming. Much luck in the contest. Marilyn

    The Barbara Ann is new to many FanStorians I have discovered, a novelty that was fun to write. Many thanks for your kind praise.

Your words and thoughts meander lazily, indicating peace despite the circumstances. I like the picture had elements you are talking about...it easy to imagine ourselves there. Great entry!!

"My piece is found in lazy mountain streams" this takes me back and as I was reading this I could imagine myself on a blanket sitting along the stream in the picture, it is so tranquil, so vivid I feel as 5hough I can hear the soft flow of the water just from reading your words, ah.

Hello anon, this is a beautiful sonnet written in true sonnet form. Good abab rhyme, perfect iambic pentameter. Very nice turn in the third stanza and a lovely final, rhyming couplet. Excellent sonnet - good luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy xx

In my opinion, an exquisite poem in its free-and-easy appearing rhyme - a soliloquy representing an enviable state of mind, one to which we can all aspire and relate, and so smilingly, at least, I do. Best wishes in the contest...
