I tried this new format, a "nonet" suggested
in Writer's Digest's Poetic Asides. It consists of 9 lines; first line has nine
syllables, then eight, etc. until the last line with one syllable. Some of you
might want to try it, too.
Nonet #1
Slow walking in Sabino Canyon
we watch black shadows fold
into green, brown canyon walls.
A red tail'd hawk soars high
above the mesquite
trees brown'd from sun
in short fall
rainless
months.
