Thank you MissCookie. I appreciate you taking the time to review my nonet poem. I personally do not know how to make a wool, silk or material tapestry. However, life, as we go along, can be like the different threads interwoven. Fine individually, but strong in numbers. The experiences in life are what helps us be who we end up being and collectively we are stronger...being of the same thread. ~DD

I understand what your saying
Just remember that what we lack, God gives us other gifts

Comment from Pam (respa)
-I love the artwork, DD.
-Notes are appreciated.
-The syllable count is good.
-The imagery in the first
two lines is vivid, and
creates a good word picture.
-I also like the idea of
skillful hands telling a story.
-The ending is good, too.
-Good luck in the contest.

Hello DD,
An excellent nonet poem and entry for the contest.
I like the way you've woven the threads of life and the tapestry into one
Our lives are so much like a tapestry
reminds me of Carol King's great song.
Beautiful art work to match
Well done
Best wishes to you
Robert

This is a beautiful Nonet with correct syllable count
and wonderful imagery. a wonderful metaphor for
each person.
We are made up of many threads. That's lovely.

Hi Jacqueline, thank you for taking the time to review my nonet poem. I have revamped it since then as I wrote and posted the poem in a hurry. I screwed up on the time difference and poem at the same time. I hope it reads better now. Warm regards ~DD

I like the change. (*<*)
Comment from lyenochka
A beautiful nonet, DD! Life is like a tapestry in many ways and the best threads are "passion, care, faith and love" as you say. And I'm glad our life threads have intersected here!

Thank you Helen for taking the time to review my nonet poem. It wasn't my best work, unfortunately, as I hastily posted it. It has been revamped many times since. I am much happier with it now but can't do much about the layout of it and it is far from perfect. Oh well, it is what it is. Thank you again for your encouragement and support, as always. ~DD
Comment from BeasPeas
This is a beautiful poem. I've always admired tapestry, especially the historical pieces done in years gone by. What an art form and they tell a story. Your nonet does justice to the intricacy of weaving, even as relationships are intertwined. Illustrated well. Good luck in the contest. Marilyn

Thank you Marilyn for reviewing my nonet poem. I must admit to posting too soon so it was not as polished as I would have liked. It has been edited several times since. Slightly better but layout looks all wrong. Oh well, either way your encouragement is much appreciated. ~DD
Comment from Sally Law
Love this nonet, DD. How beautiful this is and the artwork so fitting for your piece. I am quite in love with the nonet. I have a goal this year to try a double nonet. We should jump off the nonet cliff together. I am waiting to see if a contest pops up.
All my best,
Sally :+)

Sally, thank you for your encouraging review of my nonet poem. As, always, I appreciate your comments. If you do write a double nonet - let me know and I will keep you company : -) ~DD
Comment from Pantygynt
There are those who believe that one should strive for a shape in these poems as well as merely concurring with the syllable count. No it doesn't say so in the rules and the given example doesn't bother with it either, but syllable count alone is hardly challenging. I wonder what the committee will think.

Thank you Pantygynt for reviewing my nonet poem. Unfortunately, I was somewhat hasty in posting it which resulted in more hours trying to improve it. It has been revamped but still, there is still so much improvement to be made. I appreciate your comments, as always. ~DD
PS - I missed the deadline to the rhyming course you are holding. I will get there one day.
Comment from Joy Graham
Hello DD,
I enjoyed the theme of your nonet :) It reminds me of a song that one of my daughters sang in the sacred class of music festival a bunch of years ago. It was about weaving that thread of life too. I think that was the first time I thought of things like that. I learn more life lessons through singing in music festivals and here in this writing community.
You have good syllables in each line. I stumbled on, "different" because I pronounce it as diff - rent. Must be my Canadian accent?
Your words take a fine shape on the page. Not a requirement, but folks on fanstory seem to look for that.
The fancy font was a bit tough to read, but I managed fine.
Best wishes in the contest.
Joy xx

Joy, I do apologize for the late response to your review on my nonet poem. Your comments were very much appreciate, as always. I must confess that I was somewhat hasty in posting in and have edited in so many times since then. It still needs improvement but shall save the energy on a new one I think. Thank you again for your encouragement. ~DDx
