Nonnet Histoires

My collection of poetry for the 2013 Atty Awards. Made it to the "Showcase" awards of top 50 collections.

A close brush with death focuses the mind on the meaning of life. Many of these poems reflect on insights gleaned during recuperation. The rest are fun.

These poems are my entries for The Attys 2012. Check out the original banners by yours truly on the sides. Please comment and vote as you feel it's deemed, and wish me luck!

A gut-wrenching breakup between lovers that loved.

I present you my words, meticulously strung together, They all started with a blank, a lonely piece of paper, Now my notebook is full, now it's flooded with letters, But if you ask what they mean, I still need to decipher. -- Angeldrb 01. Limerick: Oops! 02. Haiku: Tropical Storm 03. Nonet: Long Night 04. Roundel: Silent Cries 05. Villanelle: Look at Me 06. Shape Poetry: Drop 07. Pantoum: Oh, Those Nights! 08. Palindrome: Fear 09.

My growing collection of poems and rhymes, Read alone or in tune with bell chimes, My poems are small, but strong forever, I shall never stop writing, never, never, never!

An anthology of love and lies; choice and change; fate and free will. Lives interlocking like clockwork and yet not at all like clockwork.

This is my collection of poems for the Attys! There are ten poems, each in a different poetic form. Thanks for choosing to read them, and thank you to everyone for the amazing support I've gotten for my poetry.
