This couldn't be better. A true Nonet Poem and with a rather precious message. One's imagination knows no end, right. Could you do what you say? Well done.

Thank you for the great review, Raffaelina. I really appreciate the generous stars. I'm not actually a sculptor. It's more of a metaphor of other things, lol. I'm glad you liked the piece. Have a wonderful weekend.

Comment from Connie Frazier
This is really great. I love the layout of the text with the photo and the way it adds impact to your words. The writing here is strong, engaging, and flows easily from beginning to end.

Wow, thank you so much for the fantastic review and the big sixer, Connie. When I went looking for a picture I had an idea in mind and when I came across this pic I just had to use it. I really appreciate the gracious rating, Connie. Thank you again. Have a great day.

Comment from C. Gale Burnett
I enjoy poetry that makes me ponder and contemplate; your Nonet does just that. It makes me recall all the dreams I once had before life became overwhelmed with work, paying bills and responsibilities. I'm not whining; every day is a blessing, and I see all the good in each day. And, it's never too late to dream; right? I can always pick up a stone or two and try again :)
A wonderful contest entry!! Best wishes :)

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Nonet poem about our potential to create what we dream about. Unfortunately, our creation will not last forever like the creation of the Lord.

Comment from Ross E Silke
This is quite captivating and inspirational. A good read that flows well. The imagery is sound and I like the idea of the stone at the end. I take it you like to sculpt but somehow lost the ambition along the way? This is a great poem to write and share with others to regain that potential and inspire creativity in the reader to 'sculpt' their own dreams and visions. Very clever all the descriptions. It works nicely and the end is a good punch and conclusion. "piles of stone," hmm ... I wonder if one can still work with it?--build a stone house, lol. Best,

Hi Contest Author,
This is very well written, my friend.
So much potential lost when lives are taken senselessly.
Nothing here to suggest you consider editing.
Thanks for sharing and good luck.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-I like your artwork
and presentation.
-The syllable count is good.
-I like the first line very much.
-You have used vivid imagery,
as well as alliteration to
emphasize your ideas:
"lost in crafts for kings."
-The inclusion of art imagery
is also effective as a
symbol of potential.
-The concluding lines are
very good, too.
-Good luck in the contest.

Ahhh, I guess I've had that wrong all this time, lol. Thank you for the great review and for pointing that out, Pam. You're the only one that's ever filled me in on that. I'll have to fix it. I really appreciate the gracious stars and good luck wishes. I'm glad you liked the piece. Thank you again.

Thank you for the great review,Roy. Yeah, I know, I couldn't figure out a better way to stretch the first line out for the shape, lol. I'm glad you liked the piece, friend. Have a good one.

Comment from Joy Graham
Hello Mystery Poet,
I enjoyed reading your nonet today :) I love the picture. It sparks my imagination.
Your message is nice, but I thought you didn't give us writers enough credit. We like to think we paint pictures in the imaginations of our readers with our words.
Your nonet takes a nice shape when centered on the page and combined with the picture, font color, and background color makes a terrific presentation.
Good syllables in each line.
Best wishes to you in this contest.
Joy xx

Thank you for the excellent review, Joy. No, that's not what I was saying at all. I'm making reference to the potential the author had and how he still creates with his words, but wishes he could have done a lot more with life. Hope that cleared it up a little. I'm glad you liked the piece. Thank you again.
Comment from LyndaS
This is stunning. --lost in crafts for kings-- this is my favorite line. You have created quite a story in only 9 lines. Your nonet is well crafted and your artwork very powerful. A marriage well met. I wish you luck in your contest. Lynda

Thank you so much for the fantastic review, Lynda. I had somewhat of an idea in my head when I went looking for a pic to use and once I came across this I just had to use it. I dearly appreciate the gracious rating and good luck wishes. I'm glad you liked the piece. Thank you again. Have a wonderful night.
