Hi there, Jackarrie

Having just read your review of one of my recent poems I thought I would pop-over to yours in return.

I have never tried to write one of these 'Nonet' poems, but looking at the rules required, you appear to have adhered to them perfectly.

Beautiful ode to the mood...

kind regards

trimple

that is really good! I was not familiar with a Nonet poem, but I do believe you nailed it. Not just in syllable count but each line segues into the next effortlessly and meaningfully. And beautifully describes the scene. Also love your title. original.
very good!

A well written well presented poem which fits the prompt perfectly. What I love is the descriptive language, you can picture the moon without a picture. Good luck in the contest a great entry.

This is a fine Nonet poem
But line three should have seven syllables
"moving light, by natural laws," I count eight
Otherwise, it nicely written with some very good rhymes
Excellent imagery of the moon, its light and tides
Perfect picture and color presentation
Needs the one correction if you agree with my count
possibly use "moves" instead of moving"
Then it's a very fine nonet
Good luck in the contest

Thanks for your review and helpful suggestion. I had checked with a syllable count it gave me 7, and when I checked with a different counter I got 8 so I changed the line. I appreciate your time you gave to this review.

-Very nice image.
-Excellent format and shape.
-Very good imagery with rhyme.
-The first two lines are excellent,
and are like a hook in a story;
the imagery is strong.
-There are many good aspects
to the rest of the nonet,
from the tides to stars and finally the moon with its
"pale gold hue."
-I see this as a very strong contender in the contest.
-Good luck!

Beautiful nonet...this is the first exposure to this form of poetry and you seem to have nailed it. I like the subject and the photo is a nice reflection of your writing for this piece as well. Nicely done and good luck

One of the most magical sights to see is the moonbeams shimmering upon a lake. I got to see such a beautiful sight about a month ago on Lake Livingston in East Texas.

Your poem is written and is a glimmering call for anyone to venture out to see such a beautiful sight.
