This is so flight of mind. It is endemic of how it goes all over sometimes and carries us away to something we never thought of before. The art gives the impression that it is in charge of the poem. I enjoyed the read.

This meets the contest requirements splendidly as you deliver a structurally sound Nonet Poem with correct line and syllable count throughout. The content is airy and whimsical. Good luck in the judging and thank you very much for sharing it.

Hello Yvette. I'm still working on this one. The picture is fascinating. When you use words like "digital sync", "numerical haze" and "cognition" ; you're putting a lot of pressure on me. Finishing it off with "moon beams" brought it into focus. Stop trying to bend my mind, it's way too rigid. Z

    So very glad you enjoyed my 'nerdy nuttiness', Z! :) It has been a crazy week round here and it's good to see Ralphie's discerning mug in the box again this morning -- between the two of you, I'm never at a loss for a smile! :) ;) Oh, and your mind needs the yoga workout once in while, yeah?! ;) :) Thanx much for your review and have a great week, sir! ;) Yvette

    I do have a yogurt workout about once a week. (With blueberries). :)))
    I'm glad we can bring a smile to somebody's face. After my last post I've seen some frowns.

Hi,
This is a well-crafted nonet. Not only does it make sense, but it is visually stunning as well.
You will do well in the contest! Good luck!

"Delightful Inanity", is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. To me, this is a six, but I'm never given enough of them. I look forward to seeing your next post.

    Yvette, I did enjoy your 'nerdy nuttiness!
    My contemplative mugs about to start on a fresh mug of tea.
    Hopefully we'll both have great weeks without being arrested,
    the Duchess :)))

Well there goes Yvette doing what teachers do. They teach us that correct usage of words in the urban jungle are king or in this case Queen. This is a very good entry for the Nonet Poetry Contest.

    My apologies for running behind this week -- one of our science teachers had to take a leave of absence to care for her mom and I crazily volunteered to review/mark-up the physics & chemistry science project papers for her and meet with students as necessary....what was I thinking??! lol! I am now fully reminded why I ONLY teach mathematics -- I hardly have to think with pure numbers!! :) :)

Hi Yvette. You've put together some intricate word combos here. Very nice. I especially like "digital sync" and cognition's "uplink." Artwork is stunning and tells a story of its own. Best of luck in the contest. Marilyn

Super job with the Nonet. The message and the flow exist to tickle our ears. Good luck, as if you need it, and thank you picking up hat pencil. Well done.

As usual, the artwork is stunning and adds much to the nonet. Since you start with, "Follow me" I can tell that we are in your headspace, with the wild imagination, once again. This is fun and enjoyable to read. I especially love the rhymes you chose, such as, "sync" and "uplink" as well as, "haze" and "maze" and "dreams" and "beams". Very clever. I love the line best that says, "key of my soul's dreams". I can either imagine a true lucid dream, or a deep-hearted wish, for something grand. Imagination on full blast, you take us on a trip each time you write.
Take care, Jesse

    Hello Yvette.
    No dam could ever stop the flood of imagination that flows out of your headspace, and if they are wise, no one will ever stand between you and your zany creativity! Your fresh reality, you share with us, is a wonder to behold. I hope you shake off the tiredness, and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
    Take care, Jesse
