This is a really good nonet, describing a sensual delight which every reader can imagine vividly - and you even made it rhyme! Well done.

    Thanks for the lovely comments It could not be any longer than 9 lines because it is a nonet, and thanks for the complement on my painting of the bluebells.

Blue is by far my favourite colour. I would love to walk this forest and I just did in your poem. I really like the silent chime being the visual you paint.

What a lovely nonet - well constructed with perfect syllable count. As you say a bluebell wood is a view beyond measure - breathtaking as they are always bunched together in such abundance. This is a lovely poem and I wish you well in the contest. Regards Dorothy

Aaagh, this is my third try at writing a review! Using a laptop, it's so easy to hit something on the keyboard that deletes the last paragraph written. I need to slow down.
It's a lovely picture, that really captures the colour of bluebells. The words paint an equally lovely image.
What I found fascinating about this is that in the first four lines you have written to the meter of a limerick! I would never have thought that could be done with a nonet.
I need to think hard about this next time I write one, if you don't mind me pinching your rhythm. You have shed a whole new light on the possibilities of the nonet!
Best wishes
Sally

    Well I am touched that you enjoyed the nonet so much and likened it to the meter of a limerick, you are welcome to pinch whatever you would like from it, I am happy to help.

The artwork is lovely and suitable and so is the verse. I think you've done a good job here. A lovely nonet to read and enjoy.

Walk this wood of a luminous hue
a delicate carpet so blue
nature gives us such treasure
a view beyond measure
in springtime they bloom
silent bells chime
just seeing
makes us
sigh

Wow Mary!! A wonderful write to tell of the blue bells that make you sigh. I'd love to see them.

This is a very interesting poem. The author creates vivid imagery for the reader in this piece of writing. I think that the bluebells look fine. The altered image adds a bit of mystery to the whole scenario.
