a nonet is a form of poetry in which you start the poem with a 9 syllable line and decrease by one syllable for each line til you end with a one syllable word as the last line here goes  Cars zoom past, sending their owners home I wait for dilly-dally bus Counting syllables, bored still Observe all around me Crickets' symphony Steady lamp-posts Star-less night NO bus?!!

kaile--I like the way this narrows down. A unique form of writing. Nicely done. Poeminister "...no single sound too rude upon thy slumber shall intrude, Our thoughts, our souls- O God above! In every deed shall mingle, love." -Poe |
