Hi Dean, another wow from me. Incredible, wise, beautiful, the meaning of this verse is already a beauty of its own, apart that amazing picture with the combination of colors to match your verse, the idea of the boat kissing the horizon is typical someone like you, to describe it the way you did. Bless you young man. Much love Terry xoxo

Hi Dean,

Such calming water, giving the reader a sense of serenity.

Reminds me of nights sitting on the dock when, as a kid, we use to visit my aunt in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and go fishing.

Well done... Good luck in the contest, my friend.

Cheers &
Keep Smilin'... Jax

I like this entry in the ' putting the sartori first ' haiku contest, Dean! It is very clever and imaginative! You've put it in a 5-7-5 format which I also think is clever! The beautiful photo gives impetus to the narrative, this poetic form needs one ' out of box ' to do well, and you might have nailed it! Good luck, blessings, Roy.

This is such a lovely poem Dean. I read the work top line first then last line first. Either way, the tranquility is generates is simple beautiful. The words chosen to fit the image (assuming that is the order of operation here) are a poetic-perfect match....Stephanie

Thanks so much, Stephanie. I've had this on the shelf for a couple of months, I just flip-flopped the satori and decided to come on out with it. I can't be sullying my horrific reputation, LOL.

Thanks for the wonderful review.

I have been a little worried about you Dean. The emergence of such wistful and lovely sentiment can only mean one thing...your becoming one of us....what a horrific shame! Perhaps you should spend a little time with Raoul. I hear there are rooms available. Take care, my friend.

reply by the author on 18-Jun-2014

I have one reserved, through Mike. It's room 666, deep in the bowels of Danforth. That outta do it.

reply by A Matter Of Words on 18-Jun-2014

I am relieved. :) Take care, Dean. It is fun bantering with you....Stephanie

Comprehensible.
Breathtaking artwork that complements the writing.
The flow and connectivity works well.
Brilliant choice of diction.
"blue calm skies sails horizon"
A good rhyme. A breath of fresh air this poem envisions.
