Hello Author,
you must live on the ocean, for certainly you have described its power during a storm pretty well. I know, I grew up there and have seen some pretty good ones!
Well done. Good luck in the contest!

Hello, Susan. Thank you very much for your kind praise of my sonnet. No, I do not live on the ocean but near Lake Michigan.

I'm in the way of thinking that one is much like the other, especially just now! ;)
Comment from Tom Horonzy
Well done. I know this is a sonnet in the strictest sense but I ask if it is iambically correct. idk and could care less, for i know not what I.P means anyway. Well done.

Comment from Moonbeams Musings 55
Beautifully written, your choice and flow of words along with your photo created an amazing sonnet. I really enjoyed reading this and could imagine on the deck of a ship in a storm or watching the waves crash on a beach,

This is a beautifully descriptive sonnet. The text is a good size. The imagery is magnificent. One can see and hear those mighty waves from your descriptions. It is so well-done. The visual fits perfectly. For sure this entry should be in the winning circle.

Comment from Joanne Gill-Maddick
Living by the sea I can relate to this very well written sonnet. Beautifully put together.
Oh, watch them as they tower, tumble, race
with such stupendous power, grandeur, grace. Amazing writing. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Dawn Munro
What lovely imagery this beautiful sonnet evokes -- the fury of crashing waves comes to life as I read -- I hear the surf, and smell the salty air. And then there is the mental picture of Caesar's soldiers -- wow. Well done indeed! That volta is splendid!
