Fire

    A nonet poem written for the Write Tribe prompt.  It is my first ever attempt at this form of writing. A nonet is a poem which contains 9 lines. The first line contains 9 syllables, the second 8, the third 7, and so on in descending order.  The poem can be written on any subject and rhyming is optional and not required.  




Flames gain momentum consuming all

Heat grows intense as time passes

Billowing smoke climbs higher

Feathery fingers reach

Stretching to heaven

All engulfing

Sizzling

Embers

Burn

    1. JoJo, thank you so much! I have just started writing poetry. Never really ever did before except for when forced by a teacher in school. LOL I am having a lot of fun with it. Writing had got kind of stale for me, so trying new things has been a way for me to liven things up a bit and make it more fun. Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments!! I love your loyalty. You have become a good friend. ♥
