Cast Upon Love’s Pyre (Nonet)
slipping past the guards of apathy
I steal your cool indifference,
casting it upon Love’s pyre
lest we remain frozen;
I give my heart’s key
to lock away
your cold feet,
tempting
fate
I steal your cool indifference,
casting it upon Love’s pyre
lest we remain frozen;
I give my heart’s key
to lock away
your cold feet,
tempting

Dear L,
Awesome! It’s a beautiful poem of love and fabulous style that you’ve crafted so gorgeously. I loved the mix of romantic and modern language. The tug of heartstrings combusting by the pyre’s fuel. Wonderful write. All the best for this comp. H🌷

I love a good form poem. Especially when they are done well! You did the form justice, friend!

I absolutely love the challenge that the different forms of poetic structure offers us. This is a great example of a Nonet, and I felt every word. Thank you for that. I am inspired by this.
