Moonlight Music (A Nonet)

Mellow was that night under the moon
as we whispered soft words of love,
soothing lyrics lovers sing
filling our souls with bliss.
Like liquid they flowed
as cellos played
to lengthen
chords of
love.

    I think you did a good job with this. The content is good, and the flow is consistent.. though in my opinion you should try not to repeat anything in a nonet, it's too short for that. Like you uses "words of love" and in the end "chords of love".. it's different but still I was like when I finished this poem 'didn't I read that last line before?' It just sounds the same.
    Good luck in my contest! `Marjan

    Another beautiful poem. I'm learning about all kinds of form poetry tonite! Your words sing. To be honest, I thought of the Little Mermaid, when Sebastian, the Lobster, tries successfully to get everything around the mermaid and her prince to sing a song filled with subtleties.

    Good job with this piece. If I could make one suggestion that I learned in my cinquain class -- that is to do your best to avoid "-ing" words. In this piece, I'm not sure what you would be able to replace it with... so I guess my suggestion is just for your future writes!

    Thank you for sharing this piece, and best of luck in the contest!

    Lovely nonet, the form worked really well for this description and you managed to really bring the scene alive, powerful and bewtiful writing. My only comment, would be that ending the second line "of love" and then using "of, love" at the end, it lost some of the power that the last line could provide... just my opinion but i would maybe change the second line to "we whispered soft words of passion" because this, getting rid of the "an", would keep the syllable count write and then give the last word "love" more power and conclude the poem. thats just my opinion and please dont think im being negative because i really love this poem and can relate, i think its gorgous and you have a lot of talent. so good luck ! dwy-x

    I just love the way that rolls off the tongue. This on the whole is so soft and sweet. Having taken my words and created a snapshot; where the imagery is a bit blurred around the edges, but the reader can see it clearly. Dont know if that made sense, but there you go. Thank you so much for entering my contest and best of luck to you.

    Why do you put a font on black so that we need to highlight to read the poem? It is almost as if you really are not interested in anyone reading or commenting. You used all the words to advantage and had a theme that is almost over used. I realize that nonet is not an easy form. I congradulate you on its form.

    I really liked the style of this poem, very short and also very pretty. The physical presentation of the words is stylish. Altogether it just works. Good luck in the contest with this.

    This was a really good poem... I've never heard of a Nonet before, so I'm not really familiar with the pattern. It seemed very personal, and very emotionally driven. Good luck with the contest.

    Great

    Hey, this is good. I mean, really good. Have to show my ignorance here, and admit that I have no idea what a nonet is. So that has given me something to go and look up It will keep me out of trouble I suppose
    Great work, keep it up!

    Yeah, wasn't in the mood for a love poem thingy, but this was ok, you might want to change "Like liquid the flowed" to "Like liquid that flowed"
