A perfect nonet with correct syllable count per line. I like the content of your poem - it has a mystical quality about it that I like. Lovely picture to accompany. Good Luck in the contest. Regards Dorothy

Comment from Righteous Riter
This piece meets the criteria of the Nonet poem as the syllable count descends from nine syllables to one. I like the use of the phrase dancing shadows, it draws me in from the start. Strong emotion. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message.

Comment from Sanku
I understand the resonance of the quote from 'The Go-between'.The nostalgia in the poem resonates well with me too. You know, india is a very diverse country and i am settled in a place totally different from where i grew up.'half forgotten' too is very true.There is a wish to go back to those days when we had the luxury of pure air and pure water for free.

Thank you. I guess it's a natural thing to look back in fondness at when/where we grew up.

Steve,
Your nonet aptly conveys how we often wish that we could go back in time to our past to relive better times.
I like how you refer to the past as "Golden Country". :)
Yes, things were certainly different in the past ... a different life indeed.
Loved "dancing shadows" and "ragged memory's edge" ... yes, we don't always remember things clearly.
Very nice, Steve!

Great Nonet, Steve. The speaker wants to return to
places and loved ones from his past. To
return to "that golden country" where friends
and loved ones lived.
Beautifully expressed. Good luck in the contest. Nancy

This is a phenomenal example of the talent you possess. This makes me think and although not actually dwell on the past. Quite inspiring, though. Makes a person reflect on many things. You are so talented, I am always blessed by your work. Thank you so much for writing all the many things you write!

You are welcome. At work this week, I waited on a guy from Australia. I told him I knew someone from there and that he chopped up chillies and then touched his willy and ate moldy food because he didn't clean out his refrigerator but this guy didn't think he knew you. Or maybe he knew a couple hundred guys that, I don't recall now! Kidding, of course, except for talking to the guy from Australia! Pepper
