Number Nine (Nonet)

Sixty-three divided by seven Four squared plus two and minus nine Square root of sixteen plus five Square root of eighty-one Three squared plus zero Ten minus one Six plus three Three threes Nine! Comments: dedicated to the mathematical wizards who would like to write a nonet poem, this is your chance. This is a very understandable way to write a nonet. A nonet poem has nine lines, with the first line containing nine syllables, the second line eight, the third seven, then six, next five, then four and so until the last and ninth line has one syllable. The nonet poem may be written about any subject, and rhyming is optional. Start with a topic sentence and work it down live a funnel. It should be deductive and inductive.

I have spent the past hour reading through your vast works. I have loved poetry all my life but have never taken an interest in the many types or styles of writing. Your work is an eye-opener. This one, in particular, caught my attention. It isn't something that would usually draw my attention but, whether or not it was your intention, it made me laugh as I read it over and over.
