No net

   The latest poetry dance© is a 'nonet.' According to ShadowPoetry.com, "...a nonet has nine lines. The first line has nine syllables, the second line eight syllables, the third line seven syllables, etc... until line nine that finishes with one syllable. It can be on any subject and rhyming is optional." Here are my nonets.

A Walk In The Woods

Early November trees are barren.
It has not yet begun to snow.
The leaf covered forest path
Leads hither and thither
Among silent trunks.
On occasion,
A late leaf
Flutters
Down.


For Pamela - Just one girl's head noise

How do relationships form across
These vast gulfs of empty ether?
We know each other by words;
A page full, flickering
Across my glasses
After midnight.
There's something
In my
Eye.

Nicely done!
Very Robert Frost-ish,  save the rhyming.
