L Milton Hankins Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

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.

Country Club Bash

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.

Caren Krutsinger June 30, 2021 at 11:07 PM 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! L Milton Hankins July 1, 2021 at 7:49 AM Thanks, Caren. Emile has a contest going, so I've been working with his format.
