Colleen says : Guess what? It’s the first challenge for my favourite month of October… you know what that means! Poets, choose your own syllabic poetry form, theme, words, images, etc. It’s up to you.
NEW RULES: Let’s make this challenge a true poet’s choice! Use any syllabic poetry form that you’d like. As long as there are syllables to count, you’re ready! Be creative. If your form is something new, teach us how to write it. Have fun!
My choice this week is extra special as Colleen has given us free reign as to poetic form. I have chosen to put two together. An Acrostic Nonet.
The contents comes from deep within me. It could be read as a personal relationship, with either another person or thing, or as a lament to nature and our current world troubles.
Autumn Cry.
As always tapped under your control
Useless I am no longer whole
Tell me how I lost the light
Undone I’m caught in flight
Morning brings no hope
No kindness spoke
Cry freedom
Real needs
Yearn.

Gosh, Willow, this is very sad and dramatic. The image is also most disturbing.

My effort….nowhere near as dark
You can beat an egg
Or beat a person
But will not, ever, beat love.

This nonet is so powerful, Willow! This is meaningful to many on so many levels… Well done. ❤

Thank you Colleen, I like the Nonet format. I combined it with an Acrostic Poem, spelling Autumn Cry because I like the Acrostic too. It is a meaningful poem I hope. 💜
