Nines Poems - Poems about Nines


three nines fine

The Spews of Erebus
Our desire unites us
that our greed and ambitions
might be heard as prays
to a concerning and considerate God
Might the Spoils of discovery
find sceince as profitible
as it is interesting

they cheered and toasted him
not knowing what was before them. Said one
in full opposition of the others. He sheilded his
lanterns at night
might the greed of men

Dressed to the nines, but with a lethal twist,
her cover blown, enacts her exit plan.
Those lips, a deep vermillion, never missed;
cotillion entrance stops hearts for a span.
A needle in the bracelet at her wrist…

With subterfuge to rival a MacBeth,
a poise belies her young and tender age.
Bare balanced on a blade ‘twixt life and death,
a china

Welcome winter month into my little haven of dreams and joy 
your rouge cheeks and your fresh air kisses will do us all good 
Let me worship in your ice rink of fun and chatter with my friends 
while I sip on cocoa from a foam cup and share a story or two...
Winter tide greetings

The Not-Nice Nines

The "Not-Nice" Nines

If ones are
Wonderful
Twos and threes
Are terrible

Fours are
Fantastic
Fives are
Freaky

Sixes go
To school
Sevens
Are cool

Eights aren't
A fool
And nines
Are not nice

They are
Cold as ice
They shut down
Won't suffice

They will not
B enticed
The "not-nice" nines
They are not fine

They do not
Give u a sign
What to do
To have a clue

Who is who
Or if it's true
The "not-nice" nines
Show their behinds

They do not shine
But they

Nines To Mine

Waking by the peace of sleep, walking through my nightmares.Dreaming when the sun shines on my face, endless by forever screaming.Walls made of clay, closing in, trapped by what makes nothing seems to be the fake of day. Who makes sense when senseless is the price i have to pay, that does not mean i

Premium MemberWhen Life Is Seen In Nines

The sun shone bright and the wind was cool

On the road to that place, I was ecstatic

Expecting the nine of all that life can drool

Now and then I did dream of  a picnic

With my host, the prince charming of my dreams

Laughing in love was no more made of whims

Never did I see behind this

Premium MemberThe Magic Nines

The mystical number nine,
its magic, is not by design.
Its magic speaks
math techniques
which simply cross the line.
==================
Multiply nine by any number
Add the digits in the answer
Do until you can’t add again
the number will always be 9

9 x 1234567890=11111111010=9
Many other tricks with 9's
