Hi there,
I am not an expert on poetry by any stretch of the imagination but this was incredibly well constructed, in my opinion. It flows so well and seems to adhere to the form effortlessly.
A great statement / commentary / message
I loved this

Your nonet took a few reads, before I could grasp meaning. A quality attached to great poetry. I think your poem means when confused follow your heat, trust in yourself, and keep the faith.

So much is said here and said with great insight. Very uplifting and challenging. The use of language and poetic device enhances the message. A perfect piece that has my vote.

Thank you
Comment from Bill Schott
This nonet, a journey of a human kind, seems to be reminding the reader that the journey isn't over 'til it's over and that there is a long way to go and good things still to see.

Comment from Curly Girly
I enjoyed reading your verse. It tries to fight off human negativity regarding a person's self worth and image. It is hope that keeps us going. We must always hope. Hope is our fuel.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Yeah, well...we all gotta find something to live for, and hope is as good a reason as any to keep pressing onward. When life hands you lemons, you take out the seeds, plant them, wait for the lemon tree to grow, then start an organic fresh lemonade stand. Anything and everything worth having is worth waiting for...or so I've often been told.
Well done, Mystery Poet. A truly thought provoking nonet. Lots of food for thought here, in fact.
Best of luck to you in the contest. ;)

Well put, Dean. That's what I was getting at indeed. I got creamed, but I'm happy with the poem. What do the voters know anyway, except the ones that voted for me of course. :)) mikey

How true. Life is a long, hard struggle with lots of bumps and bruises along the way. Your nonet seems to have taken a different path. Very smooth, flows rhythmically down to its last syllable. Well crafted, Les

Yeah, I suppose it gives me away. I tried putting plain type on a grey background, but people were still saying "nice piece, mikey" so I figured I may as well present them the way I want. Hahaha. Thank you so much. mikey
