My Nonet for September 9th
Love Is All
by Sally Law
………
Love is all—a gift from the Giver A healing stream in which I bathe
The acceptance I’ve longed for
A state of endless grace
My cares—I lay down
For Love has done
A great work
Within
Me. …
Author Notes
I capitalized Giver and Love as a reference to God.
A Nonet is a 9-line poem that has 9 syllables in the first line, 8 syllables in the second line, 7 syllables in the third line, and continues to count down to one syllable in the final (ninth) line.
For me, visual aesthetics are important for a Nonet. I typically chose a centered one. I use a syllable counter. A good one is: howmanysyllables.com.
