The serenity of this work easily touches the reader and is internalized with the result of contentment and satisfaction. The beauty is engaging...both words and illustration.

I love your description
of the aqua sea and the
calmness you felt on the
shore.
A lovely Nonet. Good luck

Hello Helvi2, I did enjoy this poem very much. As a Floridian now residing in Canada I miss the calm gulf waters that used to caress the shores I once roamed. Your piece took me back there, ever so briefly. Best to you. Chrisfiore

Hi, Helvi, the whole presentation of your nonet is cool and pristine, just like the place you're describing here. You've got me convinced there is a place like that ... :)

Great image. Makes sense and reads well.

Helvi, your poem is in excellent syllable count and structure for the Nonet form.
I like the shore/roars rhyme and the lovely descriptive detail. You create a mood of serenity in a sea that never roars most effectively :-) Brooke

I loved this poem!
I have written some Nonet poems, and I have learned that they are not very easy to write!
This is why I love FanStory, because there is so many great writers like you!
Good luck on your next piece!

    Hi gigglegirl, Thank you for your lovely review. I have trouble writing Nonets too! When you get towards the end it's hard to keep within that syllable count. I appreciate your wonderful review and the fact that you became a fan of mine VERY much! :o) Helvi

    Yes!
    The last syllable counts are very hard!

Your author notes are superb-you have good imagery and a good flow with your Nonet--good syllable count as you write about the sea where aqua flows--I really enjoyed your poem-great job.

Hello Helvi2
Your nonet poem reminds me of the beautiful beaches in Bermuda with the aqua water and pink sands
You have painted a very clear picture of beauty with your words.
