3-6-9 format created by Emile J. Pinet. The scientist and inventor Nikola Tesla believed that the numbers 3-6-9 held great significance, and in deference to him, the 3-6-9 was invented. An eighteen line rhyming verse with the following rhyme scheme: (aba - cdcefe - ghgijiklk,) with a syllable count of 333, 66666, 999999999. It looks best centered.

Bright balloons from garden-- fresh cut blooms, A bright summer bouquet of asters and primrose, asparagus fern gay, elegant pink dahlia in ceramic vase, a touch of nostalgia. Gracing imposing dinner table set for twenty special invitees, a night of fantasy and fable-- Violins softly playing Mozart in the comfortable drawing room, walls lined with impressionistic art. For each guest a night to remember welcoming them to the county bar-- initiating each new member.

I can barely imagine "a night of fantasy and fable-- Violins softly playing Mozart" - love that you broke this down and explained how it was created too! Nice job Hank!

Thanks, Caren. Emile has a contest going, so I've been working with his format.
