You've written a lovely nonet and followed all the rules. Congratulations, as I have noted this to be your first attempt. Deep emotion is projected and can be sensed by the reader, an excellent accomplishment on your part. Best wishes, LadyMary

This one came from bits and pieces of special moments in my life....after losing my son.

When I screamed (anger does that) at God for answers, I was blessed with one and when my two year old (who was terrified of the dark) was found downstairs at midnight sitting alone in the dark...she told me her brother was talking to her. Personally, I believe!

Thanks for the review. Carol

I believe it too. Very young children are more open to that kind of experience. My granddaughter was 3 and told us she had died while riding horses with her mother and the mom died too. We questioned her and she said she was a boy and her name was Chris. I thought, maybe it's a past life. What else could it be? She gave many details. Someday we'll know.
I'm so glad you had another child.
Carol.

Judy Thank you so much for the very kind review. It's my first attempt and I certainly am no poet, but my emotions do run strong. Thanks again Carol

Comment from sgalletti

Good

Good attempt at your first nonet. You certainly have all of the syllables correct and kudos to you for trying out this fun type of poetry. The poem would be stronger with more alliteration (repetition of the same sound) and stronger imagery (using words that cause the reader to visually picture the content). Best of luck in the contest.

You got the rules right! I just checked. LOL Your poem is quite moving, Carol, which is just as important as the correct form part. I wish you luck in the contest with this gloriously touching and reverent poem. Brooke

Hello Carol,

Great job for your first attempt at a nonet. That's lovely artwork you chose that goes perfectly with your poem. There's a lot of emotion going on within this poem. I like the happy/joyous ending where an angel touches your hand and we hear the trumpets blaring. All is well as the prayer has been answered and you are released from the pain. Love is renewed in God's home is a positive and uplifting thought.

Enjoyed your poem. Good luck in this contest!
Well done,
Be well,
Art

There are times in life when medicine, etc. can no longer heal our wounds, I pray that God will answer our prayers, so we no longer must suffer. Thanks for reading and enjoying my poem. Carol

Nice. You're brave to try something new. I'd like to write to poetry or try sometime. I didn't know what nonet was. So in my humble inexperienced opinion this is very well written.

dmjones JUmp right in the water's fine! I am terrified every time I post one, because a poet I am not. At least not like some of the ones who write so gloriously on this site. I know the words but they don't come to me in the shape of a poem. Thanks for the kind review. Glad you enjoyed it. Always, Carol
