Hello!
Today I learned of another new poetry prompt. Every year when I learn at least one or two more styles of poetry I'm amazed just how many different poetry styles there are. With today's prompt I learned about the nonet. Another type of poetry that is structured by syllables, which I really love. The number of syllables in each line decreases as you go, and so right away I was reminded of a the book Heart of Iron by Ashley Poston. In it there's a scene where a character is having their memory erased, and they are repeating the names of the people important to them so that they won't forget, but they do forget and with each repetition of the names there are fewer there. The style of the writing fits so well with this poem, so I used that scene as inspiration for my nonet. Enjoy!
