It is wonderful how this poem comes together yo make perfect sense. It flows wonderfully too. The rhyming is very good. I just love your nonet, Kahpot!

All the very best in the contest.

I have never tried a nonet before but feel inspired to give it a go now. It appears to be very tricky but when executed well, as yours certainly is, it both reads and looks so effective. I like your rhymes and how you turned something as seemingly mundane as the evaporation cycle into an exquisite poem. I also find such inspiration in the sky and the picture with the rainbow really finishes it off perfectly. I think you did a wonderful job for your first nonet x

I always enjoy the shape and sensibility of a good nonet. I enjoyed your addition of rhyme, which made the poem much more difficult to create but added to its intensity. The shape echoes falling rain as well. Best wishes in the contest- Joan

Well-structured Nonet poem telling us the story of Earth recycling water with "falling rain." The poem flows like the raindrops of which it speaks. Charming picture. Good job.

A really strong contest entry. I think it will do well. It takes some thought and time to put this together. I have tried them with limited success. The imagery is very nice. Cowboy

This nonet, Falling Rain, has the proper descending nine-to-one syllable frame and includes a proper rhyme scheme to complete the cycle of rain. Nice.

I've never written a nonet, but must try one. You've really done a good job with yours, its syllables are perfect on each line, and you've even manage to make it rhyme. Well done for that! I like your theme too, it is exactly that, a continuous cycle like most things in natures plan. Good luck in the contest, you've a good chance with this one. :) Sandra xxx

Dear Kahpot,
Not only is the artwork stunning, but this is probably the best Nonet that I have seen. I can see why it hit on Fan Story as an All Time Best poem and was recognized. Good luck in the contest.
