Hi,
This is a good nonet. I'm familiar with this format.
Sometimes we make mistakes and can't go back in time. We have to live with the consequences.
This big world can be a scary place
Feels better to look at your face -- best lines.
Good luck.

Interesting nonet. What I understand is that a couple split over "one thing" and then each are "standing on principle" and can't swallow their pride to reunite. Close?

Hi - exactly. So many times, people let pride get in the way. Its the principle of the thing!

I loved you choice of artwork : ) I am a big fan of the nonet form, it is a tricky little sucker to master. I think you have done a fine job though friend : ) it flows with ease from line to line and also has a touch of rhyme, you have skillfully used all nine. Good luck friend !!

What an amazing picture you chose to go with your piece. When I was put alone for the first time, this is how I felt. Numb was the best word to use. Very well done, count is spot on.

I am not sure who this poem is directed to but it feels like a plea to an old boyfriend or someone who died and you wish they were not dead.

Hi Gypsy; this wasn't a plea from me, but one from somebody that made a mistake and was left - maybe they can get just one more chance? ~patty~

A very good contest entry. If only contests weren't so hard to win I would enter more, but the writers on this site are far too talented for me to compete.

Hi Thomas; I totally agree with you on the contests - this one isn't an entry for one - just me trying another poetic form. ~patty~

Poor little fairy! What did she do to upset you? Are you going to take her back and give her that one more chance. She doesn't look happy at all just squatting on that broken heart.

Hi Jim; the fairy ripped out my heart and stuck her tongue out. So, I staggered away and now she wants me to come back for more. ~patty~

Aye. The can can be wicked wee trollope, fairies.

Hi Patty - Well, I can't think of any way you could improve upon this Nonet. Well written and you have maintained the subject of your piece consistently - not just stringing lines together. Perfect syllable count. Well done. Good Luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy x

Hi Dorothy; thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I appreciate your kind words of encouragement - I was hoping I could express a complete thought and NOT just put the lines of syllable in place - your words tell me I did it right,

Absolutely love the picture. I like that the writer is sticking to her/his beliefs, no apologies but still wanting to give it another go, That might work. Enjoyed. MaggieF

Hey, good afternoon, Patty

I don't know if you received this review with another writer's name.. I looked at the writer but clicked on your post. If I did my sincerest apology.

Loved the poem. One's desire for peace of mind, for feeling secure, all dependent on being accepted by one who's was initially rejected. Enjoyed.

Take care and stay safe,

Ray
