Aw... you are so very welcome. I'm glad you liked my fantasy inspired Nonet. It felt like you've been gone for an eternity. I'm glad to hear the good report that you were able to get your mother settled and cared for. That blesses my heart.
Thank you for the wonderful review and for returning to us. That means the most. :) ;)
Sending you my best and b,essings always,
Sal XOs...xo...
Comment from Alchera
I love this well written nonet and beautifully written throughout it descriptive story lined content which took me to Virginia Woolf as she wrote:"Put back the book on the shelf and let the dust cover it. When you open it again you will be able to read it and understand". How many time I stopped and sat among all my books pulled down by my six grandchildren and started reading them as soon as they all left and new ideas popped out, putting them back on the selves. Great work!

Thank you, dear. This isn't in a contest. I compose a Nonet one a month on any ninth day. I call it Nonet for the Nines. It's a personal challenge to myself and others to enhance our skills using this poetry form. Please join in if you can. A handful of us do it and please join us if you can. I'm glad you enjoyed my November offering for Nonet for the Nines. Blessings always,
Sally XOs....

That's wonderful. I would love to join as I really need to improve in my writing. Really looks like I have a long way to go.
Comment from Wendy G
That is a feeling that many will share - the joy of being totally absorbed by the magic of words. This is a beautiful Nonet, and the accompanying picture is very suited to it. Well written.

Comment from poetwatch
Yvette should be back soon, I hope, Sally. I know she will like your Nonet and it will bring her back to fantasy. :) I'm a Maggie fan. Hopefully, she comes up with a new way to entertain us. A good Nonet, I miss mine because I was in Brownsville with no computer. I just got back. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my Nonet, dear poet. I put this in the fantasy category just for Yvette, and do notice that the artwork looks like her!
Sending you my best today as always,

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
The time spent fantasizing sometimes pays off in leading us into reveries that were priceless. The Stardust sprinkles are just such reveries. The song is my favorite. Thanks, Sally.

It's always nice to start my day off reading, but listening to the smooth voice of Nat King Cole makes everything more enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.

Yes the sheer wonder and magic and enjoyment that books can bring to our world portrayed exquisitely here and within the relative confines of the Nonet format

Comment from Cynthia Adams1
Yours is a sweet and interesting poem. The artwork is charming and adds to the allure. The reader can imagine the scene of the girl sitting there absorbed in thoughts and dreams.
I would suggest making the type bigger. I can read it alright but there will be many who will have trouble. I hear this complaint a lot on-site, that people use too small a type face and many here are older and their eyes aren't what they were.
Thank you for your work.

Thank you for the excellent review and comments, dear Cynthia. I am near blind with retinitis pigmentosa. It has become harder to use advanced editor with my low vision, even with my blind assist keyboard and magnifier. This font is the only one offered in basic editor, I'm sorry to say. I'm glad you enjoyed it though.

I am sorry to hear of your problems with your eyes; I'm sure it gets frustrating.
The font style is fine...are you able to bump up the size in the basic? If not, people will just have to make due...your poem is worth it. Blessings to you and yours.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
You brought the magical charm of a book to life here as stories take us on a trip to the unknown and fill us with joyful tales and paths into mystery and fantasy, a much enjoyed nonet, perfectly formed and it should be in the contest, love Dolly x

Thank you for the wonderful review, dear Dolly. How kind you are. I do this as a challenge for myself and to others. I do better in a non-comtest with these for some reason. Nervous I guess.
