Beautiful, dream-like, it carries me to that place in mind where I can see the visions of others, and apply it to self.
Bravo.
Good luck with this Sally.
My best wishes.

Sally,

I think you have composed a fabulous nonet for the contest. I like your train metaphor and the idea of seizing the moment. Your form is spot on and you leave your readers with time to reflect.

I did watch the video you presented. I don't trust any Hollywood star and and doubt I've viewed any if his movies. Encouraging thoughts within, but "never be discouraged" is unrealistic...just read the psalms.

Ha, but your poem is wonderful and best wishes, dear Sally.

Anna

    Thank you very much for the wonderful review and kind compliments. God wants us to be encouraged no matter what. I think this last year has left us a point of super discouragement. I hope this left people with a sense that we have hope in Christ. Sending my very best today and blessings always, Sal XOs...

As the proverb goes, time and tide wait for no man, (or woman) we need to use every moment here to better serve our purpose, oh those wasted moments! Beautifully written nonet to celebrate the "NINES", well done Sally, good luck, blessings Roy

Comment from Ronni

This work has reached the exceptional level

Hi dear Sally,
This awareness message and encouragement is so very timely indeed
for all the all inclusive reasons and circumstances you so keenly
enumerated! Time has been wasted, deterred and drained, and
a kick start time is now to get up, get out, and reconnect with life
and living! Many of have fallen into the do nothing, hope for nothing,
try nothing kind of 'wake' in the aftermath of all these crisis and gloom!
Thank you for this kick start with this so relevant and vital call to
action and doing what we can on our part to be part of life and
living as we know it, lest we forget too long and won't matter!
Love, blessings always, Ronni

What a great message in your nonet, Sally! Loved "I'll hold out my faith
and seize the day; taking my place in life." Let's keep doing our part for the Lord's Kingdom.

Sally,
Thank you for that inspiring video of D. Washington! I'm sure he's helped many people with his words.

Your poem is inspirational too. I like your choice of words and the Latin Phrase, "seize the day."
Good luck in the contest, Sally.
Blessings,
Cindy

Hello Sal :)
I love your nonet.
We do need to seize the day. Life's train isn't stopping at stations, we have to jump on board and enjoy the ride.
I really enjoyed the video too - fall forward is such a great message.
Good luck in the contest.
Best wishes as always, Debra :) x

I know of a few people who are struggling to reengage. I'm worried about them. Thank you for touching on that subject with your contest it. It makes a very strong point. Good luck with the contest.
