None (a nonet)

In the launch of creation there were
Myriads of variant dreams.
As mankind wove their mind's eye
Into safe harmony,
Diversity left;
Ideas fled
Away; then
There were
None.

Interesting. I've never read a nonet before.

Thank you, sky.  It is 9 lines with 9 syllables in line one and counting syllables down to one in line 9

Thanks, Snow.  The priniciple is similar to Orwell's Newspeak in 1984.  Unfortunately, sometimes I fear it is truer than we would like to admit.

I had a dream last night
you came to me on silver wings of light
I flew away with you in painted sky
Was it real
Is it what you see,touch or feel

Suspect this is kind of what really happened.  Hope we can begin to dream again.  Really appreciate the flow of your writing.
