Beautiful nonet you have here, dear Melissa. I especially like line two: sandpaper canyons coming to. So lovely in centered form. Sending you my best today as always and my very best for the upcoming contest.

Excellent. Not just for the way you have packed so much into this little money box but also for the tight and impressive vocabulary and phrasing you have employed here. Love 'Sporadic raindrops bullet the dust'. Superb.

Sugarray, I'm so sorry that I ran out of 6 stars already. This is a wonderful nonet - maybe the best I've reviewed - incorporating a gentle onomatopoeia in the very first line! (perhaps an allusion to thunder?) and then all the senses are evoked to immerse us in this wonderful experience. 'Sandpaper canyons' is, of course, a brilliant idea and title - I would have given six stars for that alone. Looking at your perfect ending and the control of the image from the first to the last word, I have changed my opinion: it IS the best nonet I have reviewed. No doubt.

A great description of this scene and I enjoyed your well thought out and well designed nonet for the contest and wish you luck with it, it looks like the moon? Is it Lubbock, Texas? I'm told it looks like the moon there. Love Dolly x

    Thank you. I think it is in Arizona, but perhaps in New Mexico. I have only been through that part of the country once, but it is sooo different and unique. I hope to go again someday. :)
