Comment from Annmuma
It's not that bad!!! Our situation, that is. lol
Your poem is wonderfully done and very sad. I try to remember our world and our country has been through many, many trials and life goes on. Our only choice is to concentrate on the positive so we can create more of it in our lives and in the lives around us.
But, my opinion aside ...and unimportant, ...this work makes one think, is beautifully written and accented with just the right picture. Thanks for sharing. ann

Thanks Ann for reviewing - and of course you are right. It was a contrast piece to another Nonet I wrote (and I have only done two!). I appreciate you.

Comment from royowen
This is an excellent nonet, and I must admit, a truth that seems to have been around since Adam and Eve were tossed out of Eden, losing their positions of head gardeners. Beautifully written, this nonet, with a nice shape, good luck, blessings Roy

Thank you so much Gee. Unfortunately this isn't in the contest - I put a different one in, but I think maybe I should have chosen this one instead. (I have only ever written two Nonets, so I am glad you thought this one was okay!)

Comment from robyn corum
Wendy,
Wow. This is so true. I have been watching some crime shows this morning and on two of them the murderers never even tried to cover things up. Why did you kill them? They were simply in the way of something I wanted. That's it. Just that evil and simple. People have changed soooo much! Thanks!

Thank you Robyn for your thoughtful comment. I do wonder about the influence of video games and movies etc ... death is not real and permanent, but is normalised. Whereas in reality, the consequences are enormous. I appreciate your review.

I tonally agree that God created us for a higher purpose. Your nonet entry poem is a really good I liked what you said
We can hear creation groan ...
Man serves himself alone ...

Comment from barbara.wilkey
You pretty much nailed the existence of our society. I am positive that God is very unhappy with us. It seems religion is a under attack and more people are straying from it. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks again Barbara for reviewing.
Everyone will bow the knee one day ... in the meantime, people and nature all suffer the consequences of pride and self-focus.

Comment from Judy Lawless
No truer words have ever been spoken, Wendy. I feel this way every day. I get so frustrated with the nonsense being spewed, not only by people who are uneducated, or normally a little off balance, but now by respected physicians and people of authority. It's scary. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in this lovely poem.

Comment from Pantygynt
A practice nonet perhaps. But you have already entered the contest as I remember. It would be an even better shape if you could somehow lengthen the antepenultimate line without compromising the syllable count.

Yes, it was a practice one - you can pick them a mile off. I haven't done nonets before. I'll take another look. Thanks for reviewing.

Comment from Begin Again
It's so sad and painful when we take a long honest look at mankind and what we have become. Handed the best of God's creation and the ability to enjoy and share it with all, but instead greed and pride lead us to destroy and lose the true beauty of life.
smiles, Carol

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Well written. Great sentiment throughout.
While I agree with every word, I thought that there might be a better choice to end the poem.
Best wishes and God bless you.

Yes, I think you are right.

Sorry, I was going to add more, got lost in my thoughts, and pressed "Send" too early. Yes, I do think you are right, but I am not sure, what one syllable word would be good. Maybe just "Sad ..."
What do you think?
I appreciate your thoughtful and honest review.
Wendy

I'm afraid the best word has more than one syllable.
Sad is better, I think.
Consider 'help'? Or something of a different tack?
