The Nonnet isn’t an easy structure to write in, but I enjoyed the challenge.
Tsunami
Tsunami’s faithless unbelievers has drowned the world in deceit Propagating division, love money, artifice, Lies that split kinship In bid destruct Faith not a Place of Fate

Humanity’s Sins
As He carries the sins of sinners Upon his shoulders, His tears Fall for they’ve lost their way, They’ve forgotten to pray
As they stray from God’s Path into depravity, like a pod’s Frame encapsulates their sins And these pods,numerous in bins
Thrown into an ocean of lost Disciplined belief that has only ONE cost: The soul is saved and taken to heaven While the others are spewed in hell, darken
The sea of non-believers who try To manipulate the believer with stately Orations that deceive the listener Into seeming they’re great believer.

Important Insignificance
The fox enveigled the cheese from the raven, The child wheedles the cookies from parent, The dog raises his puppy eyes and melts your heart.
The birds twitter and flutter coaxing attention, The flower shyly moves its petals to receive Its caresses from the sun’s rays: nutrition!
The man wads his wallet to empress, While the woman wears her war paint as not to depress; The elderly lament their youth, and try to cajole
Their kin into longer and more frequent visits. While the individual struggles to beguile themselves Into believing they’re valued more than they are!
Ironically, they lack the vision to see their importance, That drives jealousy in others in constant Turmoil with themselves, for those lack your presence!

Mirror, mirror, ‘Who am I looking at?’ Is that face, mouth, nose, all mine? Mirror, what do you see when you look at Me? Is it just my beauty and thine?
Have I no substance in your mind? Haven’t you born witness to the depth I hide behind the broken smile that’ll find A hidden maze to secrete screctets in a breath That creates a brume on your shiny Expanse? Does it fog my reflection Of a life lived, enjoyed, even chose empathy For the plight of others under destruction?
As the image is reflected back at me, I wonder on the choices I made, The trajectory I took, is what has come To be a reflection or refraction of things that fade?

Man’s Rejuvenation
The garden begins beautifying bloom As the birds start tweeting harmony’s tune Waking all nature from its dormant time Into a rainbow of brightness In June That destroyed depression as nature’s Beauty envelopes symphony’s prayers Lifting soul from morass of stagnation.
Its simple beauty reigns supreme over All that man turns complex When it’s simple Pleasures around are enjoyed better When all is shared with loved ones, whose ample Support surrounds us in a balm of peace As contemplation of beauty helps fleece Negative into positivity.

Best Friend
Her shiny mahogany violin Lays gently under her chin As she strums lyrics of a magical Build, pleasing the listener in a sparkle
Of harmonious sounds transporting Her into a veiled world, rosy, blessing Its concordance in a cacophony Of rhythms rumbling, hurtling freely,
Soaring into the sky, leaving stress Behind a locked door that’ll impress Those who wish the reality rather Then the dreamy world of a conqueror.
She strums her harmonious melody, Alone, in a forest filled with astoundingly Cohesive creatures within nature’s Bounty that she serenades with music’s layers
Of joy filled cries in reply to strumming Violin notes flung into the breeze, melding Soundlessly within the whistling Air that rustles the leaves’ dancing.

Remorseful Actions
As the guilt presses down on my heart, I look into the sky towards your hut, Where your gardens prosper, And delicacies abound, but never shatter
Your serenity that enrobes contrition With a balm of faith leading to absolution For actions that might have created A snow ball of reactions that fenced
Calamities in your midst, propelling You into regretful actions causing Others pain while striving not to fall Apart while the pressure turns into a ball
Of explosive events That need you to barter millions of cents For your soul in penitence For actions coming out of ignorance.
