This is a wonderful poem and I am jealous of it because I have tried to do this form and I just can't do it. But I son't get why you would want your fears exposed.

Many seeds of strength lay dormant.
I seek the source to make them grow.
I want to live! Let it rain
They don't come much better than that Sue,

one's fear as fraud - seeds of strength lying dormant - I like this - Sue, the philosopher triumphs once again, and the lines are composed in solid nonet form. Brooke

"The Source" is another beautifully written and perfectly stated nonet poem. The last half which read ... Let there be light to expose my fear as the fraud that it is ... can be true of so many things. Fear has a way of stopping progress, stop growing, and remaining dormant. Well done as always! :)

Hi, Sue
Clever the way you've used the right length words to create the perfect shape.
'expose my fear
as the fraud
that it
is' - brilliant metaphor of hope and positivity. I guess all our moods are 'frauds' which we perpetuate ourselves.
Here's to relief and happiness! Cheers, Ray xx

What a deep piece this was!
Your nonet was successful both in its form and adherance to syllabic count and its ability to convey a message in poetic fashion.
Wish you the best.
Sincerely,
Lynn Radford

This is excellent as is all of your work. If you already know your fear to be a fraud then you have it 98% defeated. Be thankful for all the time you have left to receive that light and strength. It will come and more. (Sorry to be so preachy) I just envy you your youth. Your talent will take you far. Just expect it. If you can see it, you can be it.

Superbly powerful closing phrase:

Let there be light to
expose my fear
as the fraud
that it
is

This is simply exceptional.

Bravo and kudos, dear Sue. This is a winner!

Wow, this one packed a wallop Sue. Very powerful piece in so few words. Yes, the fear of not knowing, not growing, of just life, sometimes can be overwhelming. Bring on the light and the rain and be strong again. Well done
