Starling, thank you for the privilege of reviewing this good poem. Please, keep in mind, that what follows are, of course, my words and my thoughts. As with all my reviews, I do hope I say something, that will encourage you as both a human and as a writer.

Overall Impression: You have captured the Nonet Form quite accurately and very beautifully. The words, "sonnet" and "nonet" rhyme, which makes me wonder, if the number nine is connected in some way to the sonnet in form and in expression. Nine, nueve, non,...a nonagon is a nine-sided polygon. I love the etymology of words. Can you tell?

Suggestions:I can't see, that I would change a thing. The only suggestion I might have for you is to put many more of these nonets in your portfolio. The style seems to suit you well. :D

Punctuation/Spelling/Grammar: The linguistic structure has been well-handled in this poem. Nicely done!

What I Like: What a great picture! An outdoor concert, whether under a tent or on the stage of an amphitheater with the backdrop of concentric shells, produces just the right mood with just the right instrumentation, just the right words and just the right place and time. "We never want this moment to end!"

Excellent poem! WRITE ON!!!
