    Hmm..this has such a deep depth to it. We try and bury disturbing memories beneath our soul but they will always be there and thrive on our minds..to triumph over this is hard..yet when we do it gives a sense of faith I guess..well that is what I felt after reading this. Well done with the form too :)

    Uhm, Im not really good with all the rules on this type of poem lol, but all I can say is that I really like this, whether you followed the rules(which Im sure you did, lol) or not. Sounds really good too when you read it aloud.

    I think you are really experienced..i envy this, i have no idea on how to write these. Even if i read some instructions, it seems i just cant. You are really talented and this is an amazing piece.

    After reading this poem, i pause for a while while thinking of it's deep meaning. Most times i wish i had a selective mind, but there is something that we don't have any control over and that is our minds. Sometimes when we think that the past is behind than like a flash fire, it returns to the surface. Another thing, i admire how you take on some challenge and at the end you made something wonderful. Keep on writing and now through this poem i find the motivation to write again.

    So lovely to read, I have not done a Nonet is quite a while. I think I may just be persuaded to do one now.

    Very talented, well done!

    Your awesome poem reminds me of a song-

    Pressed between pages
    Flowers will die
    Stories may end as time passes by
    You and I will always be

    Against the changing time...lasting memories.

    Okay Sylvia. First I must say I saw nothing wrong here.
    Now. The flow of the poem was great and even better you did a reverse nonet which impresses me most. Here's a few thoughts from me.

    I believe that memories are there for a reason good or bad. When they turn up it can be a terrible thing to feel I agree. I loved the wording you used here though. It fits well and I was impressed because it's very difficult to use a certain amount of words in a small space. I love the line withered away by time. Because people say time heals all wounds. I feel that is sorta true and sorta not. If your memories haunt you then it's hard to move on and heal. The past is hard to deal with so much. Anyway. The poem overall is great and holds a great message. Well done.
