Substackers!!

It's the return of the nerd as I've decided to turn Fridays into form Friday! Every week I will introduce a new form of poetry and we can all write them and be nerds together, dope. I will keep them relatively simple but occasionally just throw in a mad hard one because I'm a monster. Today we are going to be writing Nonets. WTF is a Nonet I hear you ask! Well, it's this:

A Nonet is a syllable shape form of poetry. It is nine lines long and requires you to count down in syllables. The first line is nine and the last is one. The poems can be on any subject matter and don't follow any rules other than the syllable counting.

Much like cinquains, the form gives a bit of freedom in terms of playing with the shape. For example you could do the typical Nonet followed by a reverse Nonet to create a hour glass type shape. Or you could make a direct reflection so it reads both ways.

So yeah. Have some fun and share your creations. I’d love to see them. Here's mine:


Broken but mending.

Slowly working through

acres of ache

Here's one of my most listened to songs of the week. If you are subscribed you can click HERE and see what else I've been obsessing over this week and get a playlist of my favourite new releases from today


Hope the week went okay homies. WE MADE IT.

I’ve struggled to breathe deep for weeks now,

and I thought the problem was me

But I’ve made my way out here

into all this fresh air

and remembered how

disconnecting

connects me

to my

self

The light between us had become dim,

the flicker struggling to stand tall.

It could not be extinguished,

now growing brighter with

each beat of our hearts.

The love between

us will give

hope to

hope.
