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 withone syllable. Rhyming is optional.


Here are the rules:
1)Your poems must be original. (No plagarizing)!
2)Your poem must be made specially for this thread. (No taking your old work!)
3)Your poem must fit the weeks theme.
4)Your poem must be submitted by the deadline.
5)You may only submit one poem.
6)Sorry you can't win two weeks in a row. (but you can still submit!)

If this thread gets popular, then maybe the winner could get a merit.
The deadline will usually be on friday, which in tis case is April 6th

This weeks winner, will have the opportunity to be a judge. If they do not want to, then I will ask second place, and ect.

Start posting your poetry!

Your liveliness brings me enjoyment,
Time with you is gratifying,
When I'm with you, I'm happy.
Your smile makes me cheerful,
I am lighthearted.
Without you here,
I'm depressed.
I lose,
Strength.

The times we have are the times I hold
Dear to my heart and to my soul
Your eyes, always shining bright
Lighting up the darkness
Saving me from fright
Things that bump
In the
Night.

Hmm, only four entries so far. I expected there to be more by some of the people that visit the AMW.

Not so good, but hade to submit it.

Eternal happiness is now mine.
With you my darling by my side.
And love shall always persist
But the darkest moments
Shall rumple our love
But we still live  
With passion.
O the
Joy.

The A after 'But we still live' is unintentional so ignore it.

Maybe Matrix?

I'm not much of a judge.

I commented on your profile page about it already. The first two people you mentioned would make great judges.

Happiness pouring out of our hearts,
Melting into the bliss of life,
No evil within our souls,
Everything is perfect,
Joyous people around,
Nobody depressed
Throughout the world,
Smiles of warmth,
The joy
Spreads.

I'm not sure if the syllables are correct but that was extremely difficult to write. I'm not good at writing about happy things.
Referring to those two judge slots, as you mentioned Tacky and Moon would do a good job if they wanted to but they might be busy since Moon is judging the Tanka contest and both of them are writing The Adventures of AG.

It's correct.
I'm not good at writing about happy things.

Me neither, it's why I had to put some unhappy things into mine towards the ending.

Alright, thanks.

I had several things in my mind to write but then that would lead away from the theme.
