Richard Lamoureux Poet Rhyme

An Imperfect Nine

She gave me a drink
Wine Potion Numer Nine
She said not to worry
in a moment I'd be fine

My head it felt woozy
I finished up the wine
I thought she was a six
Now here she is a nine

I couldn't believe my luck
I think I am in love
She's my little Angel
A gift from up above

My friends are so confused
She must have cast a spell
They say she aint good looking
and there is that awful smell

How could this have happened
I'm still trapped in her spell
In my mind she is a Nine
So I'll kiss and never tell

Lower poem conforms to contest rules for Number 9 Contest
Nine lines Nine words per line. I used nine three times because 3x3 is nine.
I kept the original poem because that was my first inspiration.


She gave me a drink, wine potion number nine
She said "trust me in a moment you'll be fine."

My head felt woozy, I finished up the wine
Who knew a six could end up a nine

My friend warned me it must be a spell
She ain't good lookin and there's that funny smell

Still I see her as an angel I'm captivated
My body and mind are no longer related

I am her slave and she is my Nine.

Yanny Widjanarko January 11, 2013 at 12:26 AM Great inspirations of nine Rick! I was about to write the nine as well before, but seeking for some mood and inspirations around about nine, yet found any :p i enjoyed both of them, for me they are amazing :)

Andrea Dietrich January 10, 2013 at 6:31 PM hAha, love what you did with that theme. I sure remember love potion number nine. It's a great song. It is fun to see where people's minds go to with the theme of nine!! Richard Lamoureux January 10, 2013 at 11:30 PM I had to rewrite when I realized I didn't follow directions. See lower half with rewrite.
