Young Man's Call

[ChristopherSea]

Ronnie, It's great to hear your calling and be enabled to disembark on your personal odyssey. You picked the ultimate metaphor for such a journey. I won't bother to critique your sonnet on form, as I am no expert on classical lyrical forms, iams and such. However, we do have some great sonneteers on site, especially Leanne and Milo, amongst others. I will say that your opening line is a bit awkward in phrasing and should be stronger. Also, I am not certain why you use the contraction call'd as it remains one syllable. That could be my own ignorance. Atlantis' reads as Atlantis's for me and that throws off the meter. The 'whirlpool swallowing therefore my soul' needs work. There are some other bumps, but I love all of the references herein. Let's hope one of the Pros stops by to give you feedback and better advice, but you have some edits to work on. See what you think. Cheers and welcome!/Chris
