Text Prompt
For this year’s first formal prompt the challenge is to write a nonet. This poetic form requires that you write a 9-line poem. In the first line there are 9 syllables, in the second 8 syllables and so on down to final one syllable (ninth) line. You can learn more and read an example here, but it’s origin is unknown.
If a nonet does not appeal to you, you can always write a Shakespearean sonnet or my favourite form of late a zuihitsu.
