The images in your nonet, Diana, are vivid. I can surely visualize the "living color" and "dazzling sun" of "nature's show."
However, if I could make one suggestion, since you are dealing with images and poetry that deals with a prescribed form, I would rearrange and/or tweak the lines so that the form of your nonet takes on the form of a more pronounced and definitive triangle.

Hoping I have helped and not offended!

I'd love to have my computer desk there! Nothing like the wonders of nature to soothe us as we try to deal with mundane matters. Please share more about this slice of paradise!

You painted a lovely picture with your words and I did enjoy the read. I didn't see one error in your work. The picture sets it off beautifully. Good luck in the contest. Shirley

All of nature gathered around that pond. It sounds idyllic. This is a beautiful and very visual account of a little place of paradise, so well written in so few words, true to the form of a nonet. Very good work. Thanks for sharing.

You did a great job with your nonet contest entry, AA. I enjoyed reading it. I like the rhymes, the smooth flow, the descriptive words which create great imagery, and the beautiful picture. Good job with the syllable count per line.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan
