I am writing Nonets this week
A Nonet is a nine-lined poem with the following syllable count per line 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. This form of poem can cover any subject, while rhyming is optional. There are three different versions of the Nonet form. The first version is the single Nonet, which has the syllable count mentioned above.
The second version is the reverse Nonet with a syllable count of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. The third version is a double Nonet and it is an eighteen-line poem with the following syllable count 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
I am writing these poems in response to the Poetic Exploration challenge on writing.com. I wrote the single Nonet today, but I do not know if I am going to post it for my challenge entry. I want to attempt the other two versions before I post my response this coming Saturday.
