I enjoyed another subtle tribute to your mother and the shape of the nonet to complement it. Your addition of rhyme is very appealing. Cheers and happy weekend- Joan

I enjoy nonet writing; I need to pen one soon;
That being said, I enjoy your nonet to a magnificent heirloom;
"Four golden balls"--I believe they would shine more brightly when the sun reflects off of them;
I enjoy reading of items kept in families, treasures passed on to the next generation--
Thank you for sharing what these valuable chimes mean to you.

Another heirloom great with the soft chimes and the twirling balls reminding you and your wife of your great mother. The Nonet triangle and picture creates marvelous effect. Well done, Tom.

Thank you rod. Same clock just a smaller detail. One really has to work to get the V right. Changed it around several times.

Dear Tom - a beautiful photo of this family heirloom. I could almost hear the chime it played so beautifully penned with strong imagery that brings the music of its time into my room too.
Thanks for sharing.

The subject choice highlights the fact that any subject can be used effectively.
These chiming clocks can add so much mood to a moment in time whilst rendering a lovely reminder as each hour passes.
Perfect nonet format and shape and well rhymed.

This would have been a good one to put into the contest about having something very special you hold dear. This nonet is again, well written with a lovely rhyme flow, which is again, difficult to do in this fashion. Excellent! xsx sandra

This is one fine write Mr T. The format I know is difficult to abide by but you made a perfect verbal painting with it. Love the photo as well.
