#nonet poems on Hello Poetry

jack's
eyes threw
darts at his
he couldn't stand
his target of life
growing smaller by day
the eye of the bull sees red
when wife left she became a blur
the mat at her door denied killed him

I just love this poem. However, I'm afraid readers have a hard time understanding the poem judging by the few views (a 100 or so in 9 months). Who is Jack? Jack is the personification of a bull and former husband. He *sees*
red, a blur. His target (life) is getting smaller (because his wife left him).
Hence the mat at the door (Matador) denied killing him.

Homes Left Behind

In life, I have come across people
who always felt like home to me.
It’s a wonderful feeling –
to have someone like that.
That is why it aches
to think of homes
I renounced
when I
left.

The Man Says Sleet

The man says morning ice, sleet and rain
Then the man says maybe no ice
Next he says sleet, not so much
Day will be warmer too
and no rain either
I think I'll go
to the beach
instead
bye

You know me well enough by now, to know that if I read about a new poem form (new to me anyway) that I'll play with it at least once.

My Mind Travels

My mind travels to places unknown
Meeting people from many places
Yet I never leave my desk
Papers stuffed in corners
Some scattered about
Stories undone
A writer's
Quest for
life

Lachesism

There is a certain thrill when you are
teetering on the very brink.
An intense, almost perverse
curiosity to
see whether you will
continue to
stand tall or
will you
fall.

Nonet Pen

Nonet pen connects hearts hardships pain
melts the heart and soul understands
loneliness makes true artist
poets read between lines
there are sad poets
and funny too
dramatic
lonely
blue....

DEBBIE BROOKS 2014

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 finishes with one syllable. It can be on any subject and rhyming is optional.

Monday Blues

It’s day seven of NaPoWriMo;
I have to write a fresh poem.
But it is also Monday
and I have no topic,
no inspiration.
So this feeble
nonet will
have to
do.
