These balls are on a clock that once was my mother's that now my wife and I own. It chimes with beautiful soft music every hour, reminding us of her every time.

This poem is a Nonet.

A nonet is a nine line poem. The first line containing nine syllables, the next line has eight syllables, the next line has seven syllables. That continues until the last line (the ninth line) which has one syllable. Nonets can be written about any subject. Rhyming is optional. There is no limitation to the number of words per line. Only syllables per line. This provides a great deal of flexibility.

Ideally, when centered, the work will form a nice triangle.
