Two paths in life we must seek yonder, the one that is heading forward or the one that’s going back? The choice is yours to take Think deep ‘bout your dream Watch where your heart beats, then you won’t get lost!

Here’s an invented poetic form called Nonet, which was inspired by a group of nine musicians in musical terms. It is said that there was nothing more of the origin of this form. Some say this is like a kid’s poem. But when crafted the right way, it shows its phenomenal beauty.

Hence, this is so easy to create which makes this so popular because of its simple look. It is a 9-line verse, with no rhyming rules, and any subject whatsoever, but conveys a full thought:

9 syllables in the 1st line 8 syllables in the 2nd line 7 syllables in the 3rd line 6 syllables in the 4th line 5 syllables in the 5th line 4 syllables in the 6th line 3 syllables in the 7th line 2 syllables in the 8th line 1 syllable in the 9th and last line

That’s it! Or you can write it in a reverse, ascending manner. It’s done! Hope you’ll enjoy doing this. You may also try other poetic forms hereunder:
