Nonet
A nonet has nine lines. The first line has nine syllables, the second line eight syllables, the third line seven syllables, etc... until line nine, that finishes with one syllable. It can be on any subject and rhyming is optional.
line 1 - 9 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 9 - 1 syllable
I came across this little gem and tried it out. It took me several minutes to form the poem as I wanted to do it in rhyme. I found it intriguing.
Following is my rendition of the form
LIFE
When a babe first greets the light of day,
how can it know it's destiny?
On it's birth, it can but say,
love me, then set me free.
I must find my way.
God calls, you see,
and you may
with Me,
stay.

I too, thank you Sartor for the style and form of a Nonet.
I think I will give this one a try and see what I can come up with.
Bruised and splintered, wrist wound and weary,
eyes bleed blurred delusions masked in
vertigoes visage at hands
of sacrosanct slaughter
of innocents slain
in contrast to
nights nether
velvet
lake
of
pleasure
where I swim
in nothing but
flesh tone shades of vague
skin to skin sweat beads of
virginities essence pure
where breath breathes breathless upon the
arc of dawns gold breasts of womanhood.
Thank you Sartor.
I hope it was okay that I posted it here.
I thought that's why you posted the title as
"Nonet Anyone" so others would post theirs too.
Glad you liked and I liked yours as well
