Nonet

      I read about a nonet poem and felt very excited. It is a nine lines' poem.The lines may be in a descending order ie.9 to 1 words in a line , with the same number of syllables. In the ascending order the poem  has 1 to 9   words. This is just an attempt.

  The first one is a nonet on home. Who does not like ones own house.?                                      


A home of my dreams is no more dream.
Its my   haunt, nest, refuge, lair  den.
Its  very look makes my eyes gleam.
A wish fulfilled,its the best.
Here we lead happy hours,
The lil  ones chirping
Sing, dance, play.
All day.
Home.



The second nonet is a scene from a garden  near our house.

 Garden
 Green grass
 Trees all round.
 Jovial kids playing. 
 Men have brisk walk.
 Women busy in home gossip.
 Saints  on mike talk to crowd.
 Yoga learners raise one voice hahaha.
 Political  leader  busy,address election  rally.

    Home and garden are two of my most favorite places in the world :) Loved your verses Ushaji, it is quite a tough pattern to write for.

    A very nice ode to home. And the second one so vivid - I had a view of a maidan and all its comings and goings. Great job.
