Semi-translucent, you saw through the
veil, while I shattered your ideals,
Sweetness of summertime, t’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.
Similar themes here, and the contrast of “Yesterday you told me forever, now it” works really well Grz. I struggled with the Nonet form I’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: “ Semi-translucent, you saw through the veil, while I shattered your ideals,”✅
This one kind of leaves me speechless, it was tragically beautiful!! Great work Grz!!
I am so glad this is not autobiographical! What a sad and excellently written nonet!
Awesome Nonet, bud! This one was deep! Loved it and happy it’s not autobiographical! ☺️ ✨💫
Nice work G, sad but nice, 😊😊
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. ❤️
This felt like shattered dreams, so sad. Wonderfully penned, Grz :)
Beautifully written, well done ☺
Beautiful ❤️
This is beautifully written. Well done.
This flowed so well and has such emotional impact! Great nonet, Grz!
Powerful 🥰
