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?
