Rhymes or none,
poems are fun –
you know haiku,
so try something new!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expressing yourself in verse or song can make everyday life more interesting. That’s what a birthday girl and her little brother and their armadillo pal do, using the nonet form as they celebrate many nines – nine players in baseball, a nonagon-shaped nest, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony<\/a>, being on Cloud Nine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s a nonet? She answers readers in the very first poem, “Nonet”:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grand
poem
with nine lines –
one syllable
first line builds toward
nine-syllable ninth line
(or the reverse). A staircase
for poets and readers alike!
(Any subject, rhyming optional.)
-page 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you count the syllables as you read down the nonet-staircase?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of her nonets start with the nine-syllable line and get shorter line by line, like “Nine-Banded Armadillo” and “Dressed to the Nines” for her big birthday bash!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flip to the back of the book to learn more about all the nines in the poems and even the dimensions of the book itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrate Poetry Break Day<\/a> today or any day by writing your own nonet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your favorite nine fact?
