AMEN! Sis This was a wonderful encourager to all of us in Aussie plagued by the fires. May I share this on my Facebook? Full credit to you, of course, would be given? No spags and great picture. Now posted on my timeline.

Whew! Saved just in the nick of time! How beautiful are your words and elegant presentation! Cursive font brings such grace to a piece. It was perfectly used to enhance this heartfelt Nonet on the Ninth! xoxo

    Thank you, sweet Pam. My real life Zinnia has appeared. I hope you are well and good. I'm glad you enjoyed my faith-inspired Nonet.

    You are very welcome and deserving of the review, Sally. I didn't know I was a "real life zinnia," but it has a nice ring to it. I am doing well and hope you are, too!

Hey beautiful Sally. Terrific double nonet and what a lovely prayer for many of our Australian members.

The droughts and fires have definitely been extraordinarily bad this year Down Under, so a prayer will be welcomed by all.

Very, very beautiful and most thoughtful too. :)

Gloria

Oh, this is just beautiful, Lady Sal -- brings a chill to my spine! :) Such a poignant Nonet/Reverse really makes the reader stop and take notice - wonderfully penned! ;) I can tell quite a bit of your gentle heart seeped into this one, and I do love that you shared it with us, the lucky ones! ;) :) No sixes and I'm sorry it's already the eleventh... I'm trying to catch up!! My posting this month will have to be later... got two more shots! ;) Thanx! ;) Yvette

P.S. You forgot to put your invitation on this one in the author notes... :) :)

    Yes, I did forget. My well has been a strained one. I will amend it although late in the game. I appreciate the lovely review once again.

Sally: stars for you and your beautiful poem. We are sending prayers to Austrillia and the world. May we see Jesus hand carry us through the tough times and the flames. May more people run to the Father. Great message and song. flylikeaneagle

The double nonnet is, for me, well done.
I related very much to the struggles of life, the God who saves initially; then the footnote came and the depth of real life drama played out in Australia gave me the deepest desire to continue to pray for those in danger.
Thank you for the powerful reminder.

    Thank you, dear LaRosa. I'm so glad you enjoyed my faith-filled poem and Nonet for the ninth. I hope you'll join me each month on any ninth day with a Nonet poem. I do it to challenge myself.

I think this is a lovely double Nonet written for our fan friends in Australia.
It's hard to image what they are going through. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

My wife and I are heading over there this moth to watch Ludovico Einaudi play in Melbourne a leg of his world tour. Check him out if you don't know him. I'm confident you will fall in love with his music Sally : )) My wife adores him, I think he is different but very cool ha ha. A good excuse to go to Melbourne with my wife for four days, ha ha. I'm hoping the fires are well and truly under control by then of course.
A good partner to share ones life with is a priceless gift, great double nonet!!

This is beautiful! I couldn't write this but wow it was fun to read. I truly love the picture too. It mesmerized me, married to an artist, I had to stop and stare at it before moving on to your beautiful writing!!

Well done! I totally get why you won the blue ribbon! Well deserved!

    Wow, thank you so much for the lovely review and kindest comments. I am deeply honored. The form in a Nonet as well as the message is tricky. I am hoping to master this lovely form of French poetry. I write a Nonet every month on one of the ninth days as a personal challenge. I hope you'll join in.
