Flee
me, here
where the edge
teeters endless.
Resplendent regrets
left secrets here. We weep
the helpless hewed cleft we keep
between velvet fervent serene
then frenzy flees. We defy descent,
vex the hex, when we pretty pretense
cherry webbed beseech, well versed tempt
{lest we cement the mere end}.
Tethered greed, we never
mesh sweet, yet leery
the ledge steep where
we never
ever
beg.

This was HARD!!
Thank you very much for the contest. This was indeed challenging. This poem here is actually two Nonets together, which made it worse :-)
Thank you again. This was indeed the most difficult contest I have ever encountered.

Fascinating and clever!
Well done!
I love:
"Resplendent regrets
left secrets here"
And the ending is classic!
In the restrictions, mastery shows itself!
I admire and appreciate this one very much!
Cheers! -
Awesome and also heart warming to know that begging isn't necessary or going to be done. Good luck in the contest

Incredible!!
Dawn you're AMAZING.. Talk about patience's
I know what you mean.. i wrote a double Ehere once
and for some unGodly reason i decided to make it rhyme! LOL
The restricted forms are so much fun though.. if, you can
manage to have some sanity left when you're through. lol
You are the vocabulary Queen.. my dear' Dawn it's fascinating the increment beauty that's tucked away inside of you just waiting to be released. 'But no surprise though'
'Good luck' my girl.. 'Bravo' on such a incredible piece Sweety!

Perfect Piece!
So much talent you have, what a wonderful mind...How your creativity flowed so amazingly through this piece you've penned!
You have written a great one here, and I would write some of my favorite lines, but I would have to write your whole poem down again...
This piece is just that good, so lovely always reading you my dear friend, I miss you so, please keep on penning on!

This seems a little awkward in places, but the beauty of it transcends the 'pretzel' ("E" Word) of it all. Took some real thought and twisting turns to create this one.
-
killer ending. I can imagine that this would have been quite a challenge...the kind where the moment you start looking for an 'E' that word escapes you.
"vex the hex when we pretty pretense" standout clarity, best of luck in the contest.
-
That... Was... EXCELLENT! bravo, bravo! Well done, and unique from the rest.. This is the winner to me.. No doubt..
Good luck and great job!

*Excellent!*
Wow Dawn, I can only say wow!! - and that is a word without an "e" - I think the closest word I can arrive at is "clever", or maybe "elegant" or "excellent" - aaaaah, that's the word!! Excellent!! I have seen this contest and then I thought, no no...not for a girl whose second language is English, lol!! Very creative, stunning effort - the judges will definately take note of this gem (aaah another word)!! To write in this style and format and to pull such a difficult job off with such easy, that illustrates your skill and versatility as a poet. Best wishes to you!
