Nonet Nonsense
An exercise in triangular shape over sense.13 total reviews
Comment from Mark D. R.
Lisa,
I had voted for this but somehow missed its original posting. Many reviewers thought highly of your poem. Double digit votes are extraordinary IMHO - great job!
You ably hit all the points in describing your story in this Nonet poem contest. Do like your mangle-tangle and hit and miss phrasing. Words are absurd and often frustrating to the poet (-;
Mark
P.S. In hindsight, I would have made a suggestion to add a period after your last word/line. You miss-ed that point (-;

Thanks for your supportive comments, Mark. I was very surprised that so many votes were recorded - 40 overall for 5 entries. I was delighted to score so many for my own entry.
(You'll notice that I did put the period in, but it was on another line below the last word, just to be different and to end the poem's shape in a point, as I'd decided to make the poem's shape a priority over its sense.)

Exceptionally well thought out; I am amazed with all you have done to create this very interesting nonet, especially because the creator's tone reflects the title 'nonsense nonet'. The wording of the poem precisely fit the title.
I love the alliteration within each line. And, yes, the shape of your nonet is perfect :)

Thank you for your comments. Doing a nonet is tricky ? I'm pleased you think I did it well.

You did great! It was comical :)

This is an excellent example of the nonet. I liked the decorative way you got around the fact that the first line is too long, and especially the internal to end line rhymes - very effective, and made your poem stand out.

Your excellent nonet describes the "mangle and tangle" of trying to get the nonet poem shaped just right and in the process you added so many internal rhymes! Enjoyed the humor and the commentary on the form. Hope you do well in the contest!

Good syllables count and connection between lines. Nice presentation. The poem flows nicely. Good luck in the contest.

I enjoyed reading your poem. It was a bit silly and made no sense but that's what kind of poem you were trying to convey, I believe. good luck with the contest.

Comment from Frank Malley
This is clever and funny, and it works quite well within the form it uses. It might have been possible to achieve more striking word choices with bigger splashes of silliness or, even better, outrageousness. Shock and surprise are very important in light verse. I hope to try a nonet myself when I learn what it is.
