I love the strong message conveyed in this Nonet. The flow of the poem was perfection and sounded like the natural flow of someone making a point.
The artwork, font style, the total color scheme ... draws the eyes in and gives strength to the written words.
Beautifully created!!
Best wishes in the contest :)

Wow, what a powerful nonet you have penned here, author. For some reason that seems beyond me, this is the most fitting picture you've chosen to go with it. Her solitude, I'm guessing. Excellent piece of poetry. Not many people can pull off a nonet and have each line smaller than the previous line. Perfect form as well. Great write. Best of luck in the voting. This one will hard to top. Keep up the great work.

    Holy cow! What a beautiful review. I love nonets but they can be difficult. But if it's not challenging why bother? I thank you for all of these lovely comments. It means a great deal to me, Mr. Skulls. Much appreciated.

This is powerful and poignant. Your first line is nearly courteous, but then you start listing the transgressions. The words gets more direct and tight as they travel down, to the last four lines, right to the point in the final line. Brilliant and it suits the structure of the poem well.

An intriguing poem in a form that looks simple but can be difficult to write. I like the way each line seems to grow more defiant, more assertive, as it narrows and funnels into the final demanding "Mine." An enjoyable and thought-provoking read. Judy
