The inspiration of such a phenomenon of our Universe is very potent. Good use of alliterative and metaphorical language and well chosen words. Lovely picture to complement. Faye

Beautiful job with the nonet format. I admire the consistency of the water references throughout ('ripples', 'trickles', 'drop', etc). You've come to water when you were thirsty... Very nice poem. Thanks for posting. Cheers!

Hi Debi,

You did a splendid job with this poem. It's so haunting and spiritual. I enjoyed the whole piece, but the ending is really good. (drop by drop into my thirsty soul)

Hugs,

The art work is truly beautiful for these words written
The creation of so much given to us all is so very special
When we reflect onto so much beauty we can become mesmerised
by the beauty that is around us all on earth.

Great nonet in perfect nonet format with abundant alliteration and enjambment to make your poem a very enjoyable read. It speaks of our connection to nature and I could not agree more! There do seem to be "sacred vibrations" in nature that can renew our spirit so we can move forward. I often wonder, when I'm out at a river as you poem describes, who else gazed in wonder in all the years before me. Superb none! I enjoyed it immensely

All the best, Rodger

I like the succinct nonet and its visual impact. You managed the form well and added a striking artwork to reinforce the imagery you created. Your use of alliteration added to the intensity of the message. Cheers- Joan

The focus of the poem thirsty soul. The poem development the still waters shimmering reflection and whispered wisdom fill the thirsty soul.
The rhythm of the words take you from beginning to end and strengthen their meaning.
The line breaks give natural pauses to take time to understand the message.
Keep on writing.
