Comment from Marienkiefer
This is an incredibly powerful message here. I love this poem for its intensity and authentic voice.
It is well designed and displayed for impact. Values based writing at it's best, which I personally subscribe to. Well chosen nouns as well as backbone to your piece: integrity, responsibility, respect.
This is a poem I would print out to carry in my purse, with me everywhere I go, to keep it accessible. Can it be magnetized, I wonder....Anyway, it's the poem that I would keep on my refrigerator door, as well, for all to see and as a reminder of life's lessons. Lovely writing.

Comment from June Sargent
I enjoyed the sentiments you captured in this nonet. Integrity is rare these days. It requires strength of character and a sense of responsibility. If we could all make at least an effort to live with honesty and integrity, the world would be a better place.

Thank you very much June. Your review is insightful and thoughtful. I agree, we each have the responsibility to act with integrity - and this would be world-changing.

Comment from WLHall
Very nice Nonet poem describing the character of integrity. I love "Integrity holding hands with truth." Use of personification here making for a vivid picture. Not sure what the use is of ... is for. Maybe for emphasis. That works.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
WOW! This is an exceptional nonet in every respect! Through the use of very descriptive figures of speech, you have conveyed a powerful message about the utmost in character. A tall order to fill! I don't feel that anyone fulfills ALL of these expectations in every situation throughout life, but this is what we should strive for!

Thank you so much for this excellent review, and also the honour of six stars, always very precious. I am so glad you enjoyed this one. Yes, integrity at all times is hard to fulfil but worth striving for.

Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
I like this poem, and I especially like how it is formatted. It's different and cool! I enjoy reading poems out of the typical box. I like also that it is a free verse poem. Your font is large and easily read. I like that it is centered on the graphic. I like the graphic you have, but I feel by it being all words it could be distractive. A photo or image would perhaps be better. Overall, this is well-done.

Thank you very much Sandra for your thoughtful and insightful review. I couldn't find an image for "Integrity" without words, so chose this one which has thoughts similar to the content. I am so glad you enjoyed it.

Yes, that is an abstract word. What fits it? Perhaps soldiers or a dog with a person (man's best friend). I voted for you. I surely did. I liked it that much.

Thank you Sandra! I am so glad you enjoyed it a lot.That makes me very happy!

Comment from GARY MACLEAN
This, then, is why "integrity" is such a rare commodity. Such a seldom experienced personality trait. It is difficult to foster and even more difficult to exercise.
What an exposing little verse. Good job.

Comment from Bill Schott
This nonet, Integrity, has the proper formatting and reminds the readers that "alternative facts" is another way of being a liar and conning people.

Comment from MissMerri
I am so glad I stumbled on this wonderful Nonet. You have worded it so perfectly, stated your case clearly and without embellishment, and written a poem worth saving and savoring. I have no suggestions at all. It seems perfectly beautiful and meaningful as it is. Best wishes for this contest. (You probably don't need any luck.) MM

I cannot imagine a priest in a confessional booth listening to immorality pouring from
The lips of the, hopefully repentant. Good thoughts, written for a Mind who sees it as valid and worthy of pursuing.
