Very nice sonnet, Mystery Poet. The illustration compliments your beautiful verse perfectly. My only suggestion would be to add a period to the end. I would bet on this as the winner. Good luck with your contest entry!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review of DISCOVERING and those six bright stars. I did add that period to the final line.
Comment from HealingMuse
This is an outstanding write and a stellar contest entry! This one will be a contender for sure. Best of luck.
My fav lines:
The boy explored new worlds, saw marv'lous things
in Nature's awesome realm where wonder rules.
and the last stanza.
Thanks so much for speaking on behalf of Nature's wonders!

Thank you so much, Jan, for this wonderful response to DISCOVERING. I especially appreciate your telling what verses of the poem you like best.
Comment from Boogienights
Your poem brings me back to my childhood, where as you say, everything is wonderous. I used to like to watch ants because they were so industrious. And I would like to pretend the pools of water were BIG lakes for the tiny ants. Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest.

Grand poem for this contest! Such a darling picture and a reminder of how we once went about exploring the world. Some of us still do that, by the way. Very nice poetry that delighted my heart today!!

Comment from June Sargent
This is a lovely sonnet that reminds us of the joys of discovery. With open minds and hearts we can recapture the innocence of youth when we naturally were curious and receptive of new adventures. It's never too late...

Your sonnet is very skillfully-written--correct meter and rhyme--and appealing in tone and theme. Through effective use of details, you have created a nice
nostalgic trip.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
A sweet rememberance sonnet of childhood and I enjoyed these sentiments and wish you luck with the contest, a joy to read, the only line I slightly stumbled on was line 4, 'his knees and over yellow booted feet,' maybe his knees poked over yellow booted feet', this is just a suggestion, love Dolly x

Hi Dolly. I really appreciate your praise of DELIVERENCE and your suggestion. Indeed, line 4 does appear to stumble if you pause at the end of line 3. Don?t pause and see if it works better for you.

I see what you mean now! It does flow on reading it again, good luck with the contest, you entertained me, love Dolly x

Thank you, Dolly.

this is a fine Sonnet with a message that is something I have been thinking about, lately. namely, the wonder I used know in every storm or stream. now, 40 yrs. later I got sober and I got the wonder back..
