A very deep nonet dear DD, I especially felt the ending “ they repel all that is light to become the comforting darkness” beautiful! And flows so well too. Thank you for sharing your nonet with us. Pleasure reading your take. Congratulations on your win. Sending you light and best wishes this holiday.

An artistic poem about an artist. This was clever. A very delightful poem.

What an original way to look at shadows. This is as deep as it is beautiful.
