WRITE A NONET

[Cyndi]

Hello Everyone,

I came across this form while searching for another form and thought it may work here as a prompt. The form is called nonet. A nonet has nine lines. The first line has nine syllables, the second line eight syllables, the third line has seven syllables and so on until the last line which has one syllable. It can be on any subject and rhyming is optional. They usually have title.

line 1 - syllables
line 2 - 8 syllables
line 3 - 7 syllables
line 4 - 6 syllables
line 5 - 5 syllables
line 6 - 4 syllables
line 7 - 3 syllables
line 8 - 2 syllables
line - 1 syllable

Hey Cyndi,

I love these! I write them on occasion, I think they are fun to write. Here is one I wrote today:



Old Man on Balcony



robin tries to fly with broken wing
heavy raindrops descend from sky
old man sits on balcony
petting calico cat
postman passes by
there’s no mail yet
again for
the old
man[/size]

I have never heard of these, I don’t think? Good job Lisa! It’s sad how some older people have no one in their lives.

I think I may give it a try too, thanks for the prompt Cyndi…

Beneath Petals and Fragrance



I roam slowly by a running stream

where there dewy grass sighing reed

butterfly hover a blade

some flowers snuggle bees

fields of rose petals

fell over night

lay me down

bury me

deep

Love yours, Lisa! !so sad but true...there is an older woman in my building that never gets any mail or visitors, I always take the time to talk with her at least once a week.

thanks for posting sunny..


I got mine done, here it is:


Typical Winter’s Day


blanket of white snow covers the ground
birds rests on stiff telephone wire
children play in snowball fight
others make snow angels
car stuck in driveway
just another
typical
winter’s
day

Cyndi, I really like writing these, they are like little stories. I am glad you prompted us to write this form. I think I will go dust off some of my others…have a great day everyone!

great poems by everyone!!


Here’s what I came up with, this my first nonet…


FOR TWO

in the cover of darkness awaits
the coming of next day morning
coffee brews in coffeepot
warm toast and jam on plate
bacon fries in pan
eggs stirred in bowl
place settings
set for
two
