"Just" a poem that reminds you, huh - well, it's one of the best nonets I've read on this site - I LOVED it. Your words create a definite atmosphere - I can darn near see that gal, feel her need, where she comes from, where she's headed...six-worthy, if I had one (and I'm glad I didn't miss this)!

    Thank you, Dawn! I appreciate the virtual six! Your very complimentary review has my heart warmed. It's good that you could feel the imagery in this poem, and I'm happy that you told me.

    Love,

It's hard when you're trying to find love in all the wrong places. I read things like this and I know that it could have easily been me that you wrote this about. I got lucky, not sure how that even happened. You did a great job and I hope this younger gal you wrote this about is able to find happiness.

    Hi, again, this WAS me when I was younger, unfortunately, although the piece is not entirely biographical. I thank you for your comments, your read and review, and your continuing attention to my portfolio!


    Merry Christmas,

Interesting post and well written. I think this would conjure up thoughts and memories in most people. I was not familiar with this form of poem, so I learned a little something. Solid effort and show a mature and creative thought process. Nice job.

It is sad but true for so many. Being alone, not wanted and loved by anyone. She was so precious and born with God's love. Lost in a way, no one knows. Still, to this day many young people have no support or a chance to live by example. Either, parents don't care or too busy making money and forget about them in love, time and attention. In a field, I am working (counselling place) I see many children and young people like that. Many on the verge of commiting suicide or a rampage to take other innocent lives. Excellent Nonet nicely put together. Best luck in your contest. Blessings, Ella

Or maybe it'll be looing for love in all the wrong places. Very insightful poem. Sometimes no love is better than bad love.

The nonet is primarily a syllabic form and yet "Nobody's Child" has a splendid, if slightly irregular rhythm to it, that is quite haunting, with a strong anapestic feel to it. i was a little bemused by the expression "good dime store lovin'" but it seemed to me to have connotations of being showered with cheap gifts that one might give a child. Perhaps though the expression had the darker overtones of here today gone tomorrow sexual encounters.

I was fascinated by it, mainly because it is unusual to see such depths of meaning in what I have always considered to be a somewhat trivial form

    I'm flattered bu your review. I'm happy you enjoyed it and that you thought it brought some meaning to this short form.

    I meant dime store lovin' as your last thought, the one with darker overtones.

    I'm happy that you read and reviewed. I promise I'll be reviewing your work very soon.

    Always,

Luna, I love nonets! In my 8+ years on this site, I wrote a book completely done in the nonet,over 1500 written!

This is very good because it tells a thought provoking story of a woman wandering looking for love in a truck stop. Just wants someone to hold her!

Very well done Luna,,,,,,, Jim

    Abby, I actually had to change the picture because I unintentionally used copyrighted picture. I've replaced it with another, but I'll agree it doesn't match up. I'm glad you enjoyed.

    Happy holidays,

Looking for love in all the wrong places, maybe? A fun to read scenario within a poem that leaves the reader to wonder if she scratched her itch! Good luck in the contest.
