Sue Vincent’s #writephoto Photo Prompt for this week is “Keep,” featuring the image below. I’ve written a Nonet, a poem written in nine lines with 9/8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1 syllables per line.

Memories Locked in Stone
From the shadows of the castle keep
I watch and wait for my ladylove
whose misty form inhabits
the aged walls remaining
a prison fortress
to bind our hearts
time without
birth or
end

Wonderful ghostly forlorn nonet.
Thanks, E. C. I love Sue’s photos. She always captures the spirit of the location. ❤️
Beautiful and haunting, Colleen. You captured the distance and yet the connection between the two ruins. Loved this.
Well said!

You’re welcome, Colleen!
Thanks, Diana. Those stones hold so many secrets. 🥰
I enjoyed your nonet (another new form for me to consider). I look forward to reading what the other poets create from the prompt photo.
Thanks, Liz. You are so sweet. ❤️

Perfect for this photo. It has a very nice, reminiscent feel of castles and longing.
That photo is so cool. The one opening looks like a keyhole. Lots of secrets there.
This is very romantic, Colleen. Lovely.

Thanks, Colleen x
Beautiful form and poignant words that create story, ancient memories of past lives, and love … what more could anyone ask for in the brevity of pregnant poetry. Aha, perfection!
Thanks so much, Sis. I’m thrilled you enjoyed this piece. <3
