Nonet Poem Contest writing prompt entry
Author information not displayed for this contest.

my legs no longer wander the path,
exploring dappled wooded glens,
glimpse sweet purple violets;
multiple sclerosis
suffocates my joy,
chair tied, housebound;
words reach 'cross
where arms
fail


Writing Prompt
Write a nonet poem. It's a simple format. See the announcement for an example.

Author Notes
violet may be pronounced as if with 2 syllables in some dialects, but dictionary.com has it with 3 so that is what I will follow.
