end
doors locked
closing day
graduation
wedding, parting ways
tears, memories, regrets
none but gratitude, hearts full
we looked at the pictures fondly
and placed the album back on the shelf
turning around, we open the mail
invites and possibilities
YES, the magic answer to
new doors; we ring the bell
raising up glasses
with friends, we toast
as a new
journey
start
Author's Note: Life is a series of doors, closing and opening. And this applies to relationships as well. If you are not happy with your relationship, just walk out of the door. If you don't want complications, don't open the door when someone knocks (specially in the wee hours of the morning). If you are happy, keep the door locked, and throw away the key.
As one door closes, another door opens. Shared with One Shot Wednesday final post, I wrote my first nonet in tribute to OSW, Form Monday. Hosted by Gay Cannon, Corbie Sinclair shared this form: In writing it involves a poem with a total of nine lines. The first line must have nine syllables, second line eight syllables, third line seven syllables and so on until you end with one syllable. It has a ABCDEFGHI or alpha numerical form, so each line is a different ending word. The corresponding syllables are 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1. (The first part goes in reverse; the second part follows the rules, hopefully.)

Today is the formal launch of the new poetry community, d'Verse Poets. Join us for the party (OpenLinkNight every Tuesday) 3 pm EST). Say YES, link your poem and meet new (and old) friends. Cheers ~
