In this Nonet poetry the arctic fire tells his story about survival, despite pains, he makes flame and inhale the soothing warmth of fire; well said, well done. Liked and enjoyed the read. Keep Writing, Inspiring, Changing

Brrr - nice one. I'm not very "up" with nonets, but this one seems to fit the bill to me. I like the contrasts in heat and cold and the enjambment in that fir line

I really like this entry. The nonet flows easily like a short story.
You chose strong words which painted vivid images in my mind; such as, 'arctic breath,' 'howling winds,' and inhaling soothing warm fire.
Pretty picture ... makes me cold (LOL).
This is a great contest entry. Very best wishes!

You brought the elements to life in this nonet, the two extremes of arctic freezing cold and warming fire, I felt them both within your words, love Dolly x

Winter image that freezes my imagination that runs through "howling winds"-by the way very nice personification- Your choice of poem tells a story and creates a vivid emotion. Thank you

I am not a fan of cold myself so I feel as if I need that fire right now to warm my cold and frozen lungs.

This piece also leaves me wondering if he is there by choice or chance.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This beautiful nonet flows smoothly like a little stream. You have succinctly described a nature scene in which the speaker struggles to survive and finds temporary safety and relief.

I don't think you followed the syllable count that is required of the contest. That might be due to the way you have it formatted. As a poem it's fine but i think it's a good first trg for a nonet. Good luck in the contest.
