Comment from Sally Law
A beautiful nonet, my friend. Very few on FS know how to do a proper one. Your's perfect and I personally love them centered. More classy, I think, and pleasing. Remember our nonet for the nines challenge? We had a ball with this form. Again, so beautiful.
Sending you my very best today as always, and congratulations on your ribbon.

Hey, Lady Sal! Thanx so much for the wonderful review here -- yes! I do so miss those little challenges we used to have... Maybe I'll look into that soon.... :-) ;-) :-) I'm seeing that, in my absence, there seem to be a lot of participants (and voters) that do not base reviews/etc on the true definition of the different form definitions...?? More like just counting syllables...? I'd like to say "c'est la vie", but the reviews of EVERYTHING just seems to be fluffy...? And not instructional or helpful...?
Anyway, just thinking out loud here.... You have a great week, my Lady, and thanx again for your awesome review and walk down memory lane!!! ;) Yvette

Correct syllable count in each line.
Did stumble a little on "days time's" - seems to be a mite off somehow.
Good capture of the changing scenery.

Comment from Dawn Munro
Wow, while the nonet is not one of my favorite poetry forms, I must admit, nonets like this one could change my mind -- beautifully done -- it positively sings!
I predict... (yes, or I sure want to see what beats it!)

My pleasure, Yvette. Wonderful to see you back. I'm not here for long periods of time these days, but I will be sure to stop in as I can. :)

What a beautifully written and designed Nonet, with wonderful language that stands as an example of very fine writing. The symmetry of the work is a distinct pleasure to read, very well done, good luck, blessings Roy

Comment from Kahlani
Clever use of syllables in each line. What type of poem is it? This poem has strong imagery and great use of words. I like the way some words were shortened to maintain syllable count.

Thanx so much for your review, my lady -- it is a nonet: syllabic count of 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 and it does not have to have any rhyme scheme at all... You have a great weekend over there! ;) Yvette
Comment from Michael Ludwinder
Nicely done. I love your word choices. I thought "gusts of days" and "flow'ring maids" share the season so well. The flow to your poem was perfect. I thought this was so creative and enjoyable to read.

I like the poem, but the last three lines personally don't work for me: Sharp zest that shall not die. The lines above conveyed clear ideas, etc., which I feel got lost in the third and second-to-last lines the most.
