Clever. I love structured writing and that describes this poem precisely. I'd just love to know how long this took to write. I get the impression; you must be one very disciplined writer. Really well done.

As long as disciplined isn't synonymous stick-in-the-mud (wink, wink)! ;) ;) But, the gal must admit that she registers positive on the OCD scale so, yeah, the structured forms sing to a part of me!! :-) Thanx so much for the review, Bob! Hope you and yours had a Happy Thanxgiving! ;) Yvette

Hi Yvette
This is a nicely done nonet about the process of writing we all go through.
Sometimes it comes easily and some's there is writer's block.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Happy Thanksgiving.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
I love the way your visual almost hypnotises the reader/writer into that illuminated space, not knowing exactly where it's going to lead. Your well-crafted nonet, Yvette, complements this perfectly, especially with that well-chosen word 'abstrusive.' Every word is, in fact, meticulously selected here to put into art the magical art of writing. Well done and good luck! Debbie

-Very nice artwork and presentation, Yvette.
-You wrote a good nonet with a good topic.
-Effective imagery and rhyme.
-Good opening lines establish the premise.
-Good use of alliteration in lines two and three
emphasizes the words that "touch lives."
-It is always good when "faith is restored."
-Then the writer can express thoughts
as he or she sees fit.
-Very well done; good luck in the contest.

Comment from Bill Schott
This nonet, The Bard's Portraiture, has the proper formatting and gives the poet a design to follow which leads the readers to a better place than they may have been when the poem began.

Thanx again, Sir Bill, for taking the time to review -- always good to see that smiling mug of yours!! ;) ;) Take care out there! ;) Yvette
Comment from Natureschild
This Nonet poem is well-constructed, and the opening line sets the tone, and your chosen image confirms this. Good use of alliteration with 'Designing dreams'. A worthy contest entry.
Good luck,
Terry

Comment from lyenochka
Well, thanks for teaching us abstrusive - and abstruse. I thought you might have meant obtrusive. Anyway, this is a lovely nonet for writers who want to express themselves freely with their "spacious scrawl." Best wishes in the contest!

Thanx so much for the review, Helen -- had so many reviews from recent posts that 'wondered' about the meanings of words that I just through that in at the end... :-) Hope you and yours had a Happy Thanxgiving, my lady! ;) Yvette
Comment from ESOSTINE
Your Nonet poem is perfectly presented, with a touch of creativity and rich imagery. You clearly captured the work of a poetry, who uses he works to touch life's though his views may be road less travelled. In all, you encouraged the poet to keep writing. I enjoyed every bit of this poem. Well done, my friend. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from CrystieCookie999
I applaud the amazing language used here. What an attractive presentation you created. This poem seems to say that the dedicated writer must continue to write/scrawl whatever seems fanciful, dreamlike, heart-felt, faith-promoting, mysterious, and bold. To each his/her own best take on writing.
