The Everglades

Recently, I’ve been trying to experiment around with different poem styles- instead of classics like free style, limericks, or sonnets, I’ve been trying to find some unique styles- like the nonet! The nonet is based on syllable count and each line decreases, starting from 9 syllables-1 syllable.

I decided to write my nonet about the Everglades, which I got to visit when I went to Miami. They were incredible, and we even got to see an alligator, plus a heron! I enjoyed it a lot, so here’s my nonet about the Everglades!

You would think that in swampy waters
Nothing would dare to grow or live
I can prove you wrong, just take
a look at Florida’s 
Everglades, where
wildlife thrives
everywhere,
just find
it

Here are some of the pictures from the Everglades!

What are some unique poetry styles that you know of?

The Miami Botanical Gardens
