The journey there, with cause and reason
Days of glad toil together
Nights with gunfire so near
Our laughter defiant
Our love, quiet joy
It couldn’t last
Didn’t last
Gone now
gone …

I really love how you embraced this form so that the action seems to fade away with the syllable count. It’s like there’s a final line of zero syllables. Excellent.
thanks for your comment. This was my first nonet!
