Comment from Dean Kuch

Excellent

This is a well written and artfully composed Nonet, Patty.
It follows the required format to the letter, no pun intended, and speaks of a life experience that many potential readers here should be more than capable of relating to.
Love and loss.
I know I can!
Best of luck to you in the contest.
~Dean

Hi Dean; I'm glad you enjoyed my nonet - a poetic form that was much harder than I thought! Your words of encouragement are a great boon to my poetic muse,

A great poem using the nonet style. It would require me to think too hard to pull that off.
Depending on what kind od night I had, looking at my face might be worse than looking at the world ð???
Great job!
Michael

Hi Michael; thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I'm glad you liked my try at a nonet - yes, this poetic form was quite a challenge. I'm glad you enjoyed it,

VERY GOOD poem.
I like questions that are in reads. 'Can't you come back?'- It gives the reader something to think about.
Great artwork: The image shown supports the poem. The background color matches the art.
Best of luck to you in the competition.
Thanks for sharing your Nonet.
Good luck with your future writing.

Hi Patty, perfect syllable count. Nice artwork. A well written Nonet about getting another chance at a relationship that didn't last for some reason.

I assume is a poem that drops a syllable on each progressive line. This is well done patty. Interesting photo accompanying your poem. Thank you for sharing with us

thank you for reading and reviewing. The nonet poetic form is indeed a nine line poem that has a syllable count of 9 through 1.

In my opinion, a plaintive revelation of life and loss - its message clear, and well constructed in easy and fluid movement - complies perfectly with the prompt...

good 9 to 1 syllable structure
flows with quite well and strong images of a serious story
I am not a very well accomplished reviewer but
I was wondering
Should it be the character who is standing on principle that asks for the second chance
perhaps it should be the other character who needs to be given the second chance
please do not take this question to heart as I may have totally misread it
good poetry speaks for itself and creates its own meaning so great work
have a smiley day

thank you so much for reading this nonet poem. The meaning is up to the reader. I saw it as a conversation between both parties.
