This nonet, Carpe Diem, has the proper nine to one descending syllable formatting and places the reader in the story that requires a starting point. The time to become something begins with every second that passes.

Note: Is the repetition on line one intentional? It did catch my attention as possibly being so.

Your poem has strong metaphors that will draw the reader in and who will identify. I like the sensory images. You appeal to several senses. Also, you vowel sounds become onomatopoetic. Well done.

A superb nonet for the site contest, Sally. Written to requirements, and with a fine sentiment.

Seizing the day means to make the most of what you have.

My only suggestion is to centre the text, as my guess is the Committee might look at that.

Wishing you great luck and many thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for the wonderful review and recommendation. I just centered it and it does look improved. This page crashed for some reason and has been most difficult. It may be all the views of the video. Thanks for all your help. Sending you my best today as,

Yep, that train seems to be moving at top speed these days. When I was a kid, a year seemed like forever. Now it's the blink of an eye. Good luck in the contest.

The gift of time is what we all wish we have to hold and not to lose, Sally. I've lost so much time in doing nothing. Sometimes I feel that it flies by with the speed of light. Today is Friday and yesterday, for me, was Wednesday. I've been busy living day by day. With the Lord's help, I have survived. This is a good offering for the Nonet Poetry Contest. Thank you for sharing.

Wow! That video is the best. It complements the artful Nonet about living in the moment. I will bookcase this so I can watch it every day. I do agree with everything he says and he says it so well.

This is an excellent entry in the nonet poetry contest. Time is a major influencer on nearly everything we we do in life. The picture you chose is striking and encourages further contemplation. Best wishes in the contest, Sally!

Through the excellent, expressive use of symbols and figures of speech, you have conveyed a powerful, profound message about time. Yes, it is a gift that doesn't stay the same. We use it up day after day. We must use it wisely.

You have always had such a wonderful knack of writing Nonets, Sally. I enjoyed the depth and resonance that is incorporated into this verse. So well done. Good luck.
