Comment from Dick Waters
Wow! You have a special way with words that I envy. I can see why this was well regarded.
This took me back to my younger days when my parents went camping. Those were treasured times...walking hand in hand with an almost stranger. Trying to find the right opportunity to turn and steal a kiss...worried that it would ruin any kind of future friendship.
Keep up this kind of writing. You finding my writing is the real gift here.
Best regards,
Dick

Comment from LisaMay
I love the remembered romance you have captured so well in this poem. I enjoyed it all but these lines stood out for me:
Above in sable sky her pale face gleams;
Below a swath across the dark lake teems
With wavelets shimmering, a Naiad's guise.

First of all Best of Luck with your entry. "The silken lake's awash in silver beams," those words gave credibility to the artwork setting the mood for your sonnet. Have a wonderful day.

Comment from Therese Caron
A beautiful, romantic love poem - very touching. I am glad your notes explained the Greek and Roman terminology, as I may have missed some meaning otherwise. The image you chose is lovely for this writing. Best of luck in the contest!

Comment from richie b
Your poem is in written moon light colors radiating on
gentle lake with breezes. A smitten couple stirs the air with
romance. Your word provided me with this imagery.
A well written verse that brings about smiles and
memories. Love and nature are compatible, this paints a
beautiful canvas. Best wishes in contest!
Peace,

Comment from royowen
This is an excellent entry in this Petrarchan poetry contest. I like the theme, but more than that I relate to the experience of the writer, some things have faded in the somewhat hazy days of the past, but not so the things one can still appreciate, well done, beautifully written in abba of the first octave lines, the cde rhyme of the sestet, well done, good luck in the contest, blessings, Roy
