Fully Evolved~A Nonet

Well said. I don't know much about this poetic form but I liked it. Rett: It may look easy, when you look at me, But it took years of effort, to become the mess that you see John Fogerty

Great try at your first Nonet! I see one mistake in line seven; it needs three syllables and only has two. "Inked" is only one syllable. Fix that and this is a perfect example of how beautiful and moving something as simple as nine lines can be! Best, Ronda

I liked this one, made me think of a burning desire to write.. I have that desire right now but no words. Thanks for sharing Patty

like a bird...we must sing.. with pen & paper or computer & keys... we are after all flying in 2008. ;-) Nice! ~Anna

I can see that you are raising the bar, I have yet to try, I can't critique, as I'm not tech informed on this, But reads very well, I will have to look this format up and give it ago, Very Best Regards Peter ~~~~~~~~~Creativity Is to think more efficiently~~~~~~~~~~

Well, in true form to being me, Peter, I made it more difficult in the beginning. I was trying to get nine syllables with nine words, eight syllables with eight words, and so on. Then I realized it's nine lines, and nine syllables. Made it infinitely easier... lol. ~Hugs, Anna

Beautifully done and I agree with the message. I could fall in love with this style. Always, Cat

you done good! loved the theme... words in ink never die... very good ending... Richard

Really enjoyed this piece. Have recently come to know about the nonet. I love these forms. I have tried my hand at the tanka but I cant seem to get past the Haiku. Leonard

Full of significance, imaginative and well used words. I like the end of the poem very much: "words in ink never die" - you're right about. Well done with your first nonet. Congrats! Best wishes, Marius

Smiles:) Barbara Congrats on spotlight Good writing

Wow you are in the spotlight again... and well deserved, you poems show lots of work. Congrats. Patty

and nice form Janice ! Mark

anyway, congrats on the spotlight my friend. Great write, Nonet or not. Sincerely, Mark

I love this community of kindred spirits. Teaching.. Learning...with the spirit of gratitude and kindness. Amazing gathering of *friends*. Thank you all. ~A p.s. congrats on the spotlight!

for a first-time attempt. I so, so like. And Mr. Nitpicky, my obsessively criticizing alter ego, complains---to my annoyance, of course---that he can't find anything wrong. But never mind him. He can be awfully silly when he tries much too hard to wet-blanket. Yours, Chuck PS: Just between you and me, I suspect something's amiss(?)perhaps punctuationwise in the first two lines. I won't tell Mr. N. about my concern, though. Don't want to get him started. (It's still too early in the day for that.)

but a sparkling piece of post-modern poetry. Bloody well done! cheers, Jess

I suspect that trading the comma after "evoke" for a semicolon may solve Mr. N.'s potential issue. Without a punctuation alteration of some sort or other, I fear the piece remains slightly akilter; makes my eyes---or p'raps my brain's two splintered halves---to cross. Yours again, Chuck
