Thank you for introducing me to the Tuckerman Sonnet. Beautiful photograph, beautiful word picture, beautiful sound when read aloud. Best of all, you leave the temporary scene with a permanent memory of joy. Very well done.

A well written sonnnet, perfectly as you always do. A perfect sunset that is not seen everyday. The photo was taken just at the right time.

Thank you Sandra, it was an awesome sunset that day.

I like this format of a sonnet better than
the other one. You wrote a nice one here.
It is a beautiful sunset and I agree with
your assessment of it. Well done Tom. Nancy

Relative obscurrity eh! Well that'll teach him to write in flurried rhyme schemes. I know some FS poets who get a bit flurried from time to time. More often with their meter than their rhyme.

Actually this works rather well and I like it as a piece. It does the sunset justice.

Thank you Pantygynt. Well you know us American colonists just hate to follow rules.

This is so beautiful it really deserves a six but I have none left. I expect it will be up for poem of the month next time.

Thank you Teresa, I have no idea how they chose, because I often scratch my head and think, of all the ones I posted in the month, "they chose THAT one?"

Well, in 3 years, I've never had one selected.

Goodness me, Tom, where are you finding all these different sonnets?? Another lovely one. Your photograph is stunning and you have captured the magic of it in this really lovely poem, I do wish I had a 6 left. 6x6 a week just is not enough with all the talent on this site. I really enjoyed this one, the imagery was a lovely as the photo. Excellent as usual, my talented friend. xsx Sandra

The beauty of a sunset poetically
framed in artistic words that
paint a mural to be put in a
frame next to the photo of
the event.
Well done
