Yosemite is my favorite National Park, because of its diversity and relatively nearby location. We last visited in June, and it was as wonderful as ever from rock formations to wildlife and even an art display. I hope you get to travel to this "Promised Land" soon. I enjoyed your rhymed sonnet and matching pictures that brought back choice memories. Smiles- Joan

    Hi Joan! I remember your visit with Bob. It's not a trip for a single woman like me. And even so, I'd probably take a hotel and cafe stay with sunrise to sunset adventures in the wild. I couldn't handle the tent campout, but I'm sure sleeping by a stream would be beautiful. Lolz. You're nice Thank you :)

    We are not campers and enjoyed staying in the lodge and walking the trails each day. In the meantime, dream about the adventures in the wilds of Yosemite. More smiles- Joan

Hi Alicia. This is very nicely composed. I've been to Yosemite and it is gorgeous. Peaceful. It has an ambiance all its own. I DO hope you go to visit it one day. Best of luck in the contest and I'm glad to see you on the site. Marilyn

    Hiyah! Someday if I ever get married or something. It's not a single woman type of vacation. Glad you have nice memories. Thank you :)

It's a gorgeous place and I'm glad you have experienced it. I visited two times. I like your use of the Biblical term of "Promised Land" (you have "Promise Land" but it's up to you.) I agree the God's presence is everywhere where we feel Him more, perhaps we can call it the Promised Land. I liked your discussion of the history of Yosemite in your poem!

    Hi Helen! I experienced it vicariously through other people and media. I'm sure you made great memories there. I appreciate the edit note. I right preservation initatives of naturally rich territories. Too many people take the parks for granted. I think... Thank you :)

Hi Sunnilicious, this is a lovely sonnet that brims with great imagery. It is a beautiful place and I hope you get to visit it someday. I saw no errors and good luck with this in the prompt. And I see that you use rhymezone, it's great isn't it? I use it a lot.

Have a great day and thanks for sharing your writing, cheers, Eve.

    Hi Eve! I love the dictionary/thesaurus combination of RhymeZone. I can't live without it. It's my poets crutch. Lolz. You're nice. Thank you :)

I like the ABAB Rhyme. I like that you were able to easily describe all of the reasons why you love this place in this format. It flows well and is easy to read. I enjoyed it.
