Thanks Jolie, I actually posted a picture of that on my web site yesterday! Great minds. Scott put the word in my head though when he included it in our three-way collaboration "The Choice." I was actually using it somewhat as metphor of my previous life before I met my wife. So imagine lonely solitude "speaking" (living) alone until...

Ahh Kit, you are such a sweet husband.
Although, in this situation you're forced to adhere to code, hence "quietly" alone, until wife and kids... Not much quiet time left, LOL the nature of this poem admits with certain ambiguity your appreciation for companionship and love.
Really set out to simply write an acrostic for a challenge and just couldn't resist the nonet when I saw I had going. The nonet, however, does limit you to 45 syllables total and can cause quite a struggle as you are winding down. The 4 syllable line caused much agony and was compounded by the acrostic form. Is easy to write yourself into a corner, I wanted more words...Thanks for your kind words Mysty but I think the half heart shape would be inhierent in the nonet form, I can't claim it. However, you can call me ingenious all day long and I wont stop you, lol. Thank you both for reading and for your wonderful comments. I must pick a day soon and come here to do nothing but read and comment. I am now connected to over three hundred people on my personal websites and it gets harder and harder.

Dear Kit,
This is so beautiful...and "Soliloquy"is one of my favorite words! I love the crispness, and brevity of this with as much voice as a loud speaker. You outdid yourself with this one. I love it, and yet it is just as soft as downy. Bravo dear poet.
Lovely poem, Kit, and I didn't miss your meaning as I also felt that way at one time. Forms can be hard to follow but you have done an excellent job of following both of them.
