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!
Hm... A new style for me to experiment with! I'll post my poem when I get it perfected... I have my thoughts lined up, just have to make them fit the style.
I'm only doing this because I'm in the mood to write stuffs.
The spell has me in its horrid grasp I fight against the straining rope That ties to all I regret That ties to my mistakes I can't forget It consumes me Addiction. Destroys. All.
Sigh, not my best work, but I think it is great nonetheless:
Regret Addiction is an accursed thing. Has its fatal grasp on my soul; So tempted to end myself. Past deeds have proven wrong, I despise my self. Struggle I must To escape, Or else Die.
If the deadline is extended I could do something for this theme, but if not, then I'll enter next time. First I have to do something for the Tanka contest. (procrastination FTW) then I'll see what I can do for this.
