The author's words were descriptive, engaging, interesting and creative.
The reader pondered on the healing of nighttime. The poem flows
and connects well. The artwork is perfect and compliments this poem
well.

Congratulations on your win. It was well deserved. Pretty soon I'm going to snuggle in for the night. I'll take the cats with me and snuggle under that healing shroud.

Hello Yvette. TI wasn't notified about this poem. I wonder why? I'll read it now. Your descriptive narrative of night surrounding her is subtle and your interpretation of her perception are comforting. I'd wish you good luck but you already won. :) Z

This one was a 'blind contest' last week so no notification went out....you just found it after the contest was done so it had my face showing... ;) :) Thanx for the review, sir, and glad you found it comforting....I just LOVE the feel of cool (almost cold), sheets when it's warm out side!! ;) :) Take care, Z! :) :) Yvette

I got it. You're right about the cool sheets. In the winter, I have the bedroom window cracked a little.
Comment from Bill Schott
This nonet, Blanket of Night, has the proper nine-to-one descending syllable lines and projects the healing balm that night provides from the sometimes cruel day.

Comment from Father Flaps
Congratulations, Yvette! Your nonet poem shines, it was written so well.
I like the way you personify the fading day,
"fading day surrenders her cloak"
You describe night as "silken velvet" and a "healing shroud".
And sleep as "the soul... wrapping itself in nighttime's healing shroud".
It's a very beautiful poem, almost comfortable, I picture someone getting cozy under warm quilts on a cool September night. Then, in December, we share the bed with a hot water bottle at our feet!
Nicely penned for the contest... no wonder you won!
Cheers
Kimbob

Oh my goodness, Kimbob, what a wonderfully detailed and encouraging review, sir!! And those stars are so sunshiny!! ;) :) Yes, you are so right about snuggling under the covers.... and, when it's been a long week, it doesn't even have to be cool outside: heck, I love the cool feel of sheets in the summertime! :) ;) Thanx so much for your lovely comments, sir -- here's wishing for you an awesome week ahead!! ;) :) Take care!! ;) Yvette

great poetry; and image. I noticed you are a semi-retired math teacher. When I was in college, I exceeded, my rating was great in math. I wish I could succeed in writing just as well.

So glad you enjoyed, Rosemary -- good to hear from you again!! ;) And good for you for high marks in math -- seems more and more girls are interested in the 'nerd' stuff anymore and it breaks my heart.... could just take this social media thing and throw it out the window!! ;) :) Take care out there, ma'am! ;) Yvette
