Nonette - Not a Nonet

I ❤️ Nonet

So, who is this Nonet? - &

Why is everyone

always breaking up with her?

For shame!

Was it her frizzy Einstein-hair, or

THAT distinct honking sound that emits

When you’d make her crack-up laughing?

Nothin’ wrong with eccentricities -

We all have them!

I do, you do &

So does your mum’s dog!

From this day forth,

I resolve to never break up with a Nonet

over such superficial reasons.

As should you,

I ❤️ Nonet.

Be gone NOW!

Quick Note: I don’t know what this is, but it wanted out. 🙃 I really DO like all your nine line poems though!! 😸 - I’m just sore because I can’t count syllables! 🫤

    You are dastardly funny G, I'm pretty sure you don't know how awesome your writing is...esp the funny parts. Cheers!

    I love how playful this was, but very well written. I loved every line and it also made me feel seen so it was needed. Never hide anything you aren’t sure of from us, give us all of it and we will eat it up. Great job!

    Haha! I love that you honored that little swirling wind of inspiration! This made me smile! Bravo!

    You are as eccentric as eccentric does, so very adorable. I just had the 'not Nonet' idea in another comment. You know, doing things a bit different is a great idea, I loved the not Nonet a lot.

    LOL, I liked it!!

    Glad you got this out Grz. Very enjoyable with just a touch of whimsical sarcasm

  • Entertaining, I enjoyed reading that! 😊🎉

  • Hannah Mooreabout a year ago

    This made me smile, very good.

  • Even if you can't count syllables, don't ever use that syllable counter that Vocal provided. Apparently, according to it, stovetop is 3 syllables and cliché is 1, lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    😂😂😂🤣eccentricites - honking sound when cracking up? I had to take snorting lessons once. Now maybe honking?

  • Cathy holmesabout a year ago

    Haha. That was fun. Poor Nonet. Nobody loves them it seems.
