Semi-translucent, you saw through the

veil, while I shattered your ideals,

Sweetness of summertime, tโ€™was

Yesterday you told me

forever, now it

seems far away..

Leaving me

now, but

scarce

    This is autobiographical to everyone, or almost everyone...it will cause nostalgia in all of us. Lovely poem of truth.

  • Joe Oโ€™Connorabout a year ago

    Similar themes here, and the contrast of โ€œYesterday you told me forever, now itโ€ works really well Grz. I struggled with the Nonet form Iโ€™ll admit!

    I am always inspired by your words. I look for that inner meaning in all you write. Though, you say this one is not autobiographical I can't help but feel a melancholy here that I have felt in other writings of yours

  • Excellent take on the challenge

    Scarce - such a great word to end on. This is great, Grz.

  • Great Nonet! Especially liked: โ€œ Semi-translucent, you saw through the veil, while I shattered your ideals,โ€โœ…

    Awesome Nonet, bud! This one was deep! Loved it and happy itโ€™s not autobiographical! โ˜บ๏ธ โœจ๐Ÿ’ซ

    Nice work G, sad but nice, ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

  • Great words for the challenge

  • So glad it's not autobiographical. Like they always say, nothing lasts forever. So to be someone's forever, we gotta be nothing and that's so sad. Loved your Nonet

    This is so beautiful, Grz! I really love the incorporation of "viel" and "scarce" to depcit fleeting memories. โค๏ธ
