Yes. Lovers do quarrel. It is common and sometimes it is a good thing. It reduces tension and helps them to understand each other better. Glad they in the end embraced each other.

You did a good job with rhyming and syllable counts.

Good luck in the contest.

    Hi Lisa, thank you so much! I hope that your day has been going smashingly well. Will you be joining Jims Sonnet class in January?
reply by Jasmine Girl on 01-Nov-2020
    Yes. It was my suggestion for him to teach a Sonnet class. I really want to learn how to write Sonnet.

    I will be in Mexico for a few weeks but I can attend the class from there.

    How about you?

    Hope you are getting better with your health.

This is one of the best Nonets I've read my friend.

Within such a limited and rigid form, you've turned out something that simply flows down the screen while delivering its lament and incorporating some of the old English. No mean feat! But what a wonderful result.

And yes, what is there for this couple if they can't put aside their differences and subdue their fears?

Good luck in the contest xooxoxox

JLR,

This is the state of affairs with too many couples. No one wants to chance admitting they might have been in the wrong. I just have a text convo about that this morning. If one person in the pair needs to WIN an argument, that means the other must LOSE. We should never want that. Each argument should be about helping reach a better relationship - not winning and losing. Thanks!

A very well-written minute poem about a lover's quarrel that always end up in heartache for one nor both lovers all because of a misunderstanding or lack of communication.

A fun minute poem and yes, the only way that the couples can overcome is to forgive and reconcile. Great use of the form and my favorite stanza was the second one. Best wishes in the contest!
