Hello Chip,
You've written an excellent Nonet poem and entry for the contest
Usually history is the best arbiter of such questions
Considering poetry has been around for thousands of years
one might think it matters just a little bit.
Well done
Good luck in the contest
Robert

This is a terrific nonet, Chip. For sure poetry matters and you speak a great deal of truth that it only matters when it whispers in your ear.

Fantastic and I wish you much luck with the Contest Committee. :))

Great subject about poets. Writing sure is addictive to us.
Poems do tell much when read; author puts heart and soul into writing, inspiration reigns supreme when words strung together can make the reader dream. Best wishes for the contest.

And the beauty of a poetic work is in the eye of the beholder. I really liked this one. Poetry brings out different emotions in different people; therefore, your use of whispering in the reader's ear was brilliant!

Interesting perception with its captivating viewpoints pounding realities, questioning but by remarks you to answer the enigma yourself. Good read in my opinion.

Awesome writing. The etymology and meaning of words is interesting to me. The ability to speak life or death is power and people don't realize how it can effect people. called2rite.

I agree with this. Poetry Is something that flows from the heart and soul like a song. This is very good way to phrase it. I only wish more people realized that.

Ah yes.
A poem that 'speaks' to you, is much
like a whisper in your ear.
Sometimes you'll carry it forever.
I think poetry matters greatly
to those it speaks to.
Wonderful entry,
Blessings...
