This is so creative and beautifully formatted, dear Diane. I love this windblown Nonet. Your syllable count stayed in place and looks like a splendid entry for the contest,
Best wishes!!

Comment from Gloria ....
Hi Diane. This is a superb nonet, with good use of literary devices to create emotive effect, vivid imagery and the shape asked of the form.
I'm particularly fond of the Canadian flag at the end. I've never seen that rendition before and it's quite lovely.
Best of luck to you with the Committee with this gem. :)

Hello Gloria!
I am honored by your exceptional rating and complimentary review.
I find Nonets to be rather challenging regarding striving to offer a balanced inverted isosceles triangle within the parameters of a correct syllable count and, hopefully, an offering that affords the reader a complete visual/emotive message.
So pleased you enjoyed!
Thank you!

Hello Jen!
I wrote this offering looking out of our family room windows.
We are under a winter storm warning = twice in four days!
Winter is going to be long this season, I fear!
Thank you!

Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
This is a beautiful description of an incoming snowstorm. I like the way that you give the tree and leaves a voice. They try to hold on, but alas, are overcome and buried. Your beautiful and descriptive writing make this a pleasure to read. Thanks for sharing this well written offering. Well done and good luck in the contest!

Comment from Janice Canerdy
This is a very lovely and skillfully-written nonet. It conveys a moving message about how, with each season, something beautiful is lost, something just as beautiful gained.

I find this well penned correct to format nonet to be very free flowing and pleasant nature theme. The photo-art selection is well complimenting.
Best wishes with this worthy contest entry.

Comment from royowen
I've forgotten about furs like ermine or fox, all those little animals giving their lives to clothe elegant ladies. A magnificently shaped and moulded nonet to give this entry a very seasonal "feel" to it Di! You've done a great job my friend, good luck, blessings, Roy

Hello Roy!
Your complimentary review made me smile! I am so pleased you enjoyed my offering! Nonets are a tad bit tricky: form, syllabic count, and hopefully, and coherent message! Whew!
Thank you!
