Why is writing so darned tedious?
Are my words too meticulous?
I agonize about each one
Until it's no more fun.
I work the stories
Diligently
and yet, I've

This is a nonet. As you see, it starts with nine syllables and decreases to one. This is a form introduced to me by fellow Vocal writer, Mike Singleton. Thanks, Mike!

1980 something. we all hung out at Pearl and you and i were nothing special, or so i thought. i mean we all danced, drenched in our own sweat, our own saline solution of fear, too many beers, shots, laughter, tears, fucks in the bathroom and i don't know when we began to be afraid. do you?

Very well done Julie! 🌸
Wonderful nonet and I cannot believe that you found writing it tedious. I have done a lot of tedious writing but none of it poetic. I know what you mean about some writing being tedious though... This was very well crafted
This is a great one!
Awesome poem. All writers felt this way before.
Lol, this sure was relatable. Loved your Nonet!
I honestly thought Nonets were nine words to start, not syllables. Lucky I read this. Oh, I see, your third line. But yes, writing gets frustrating sometimes...it takes a vacation 🤗❤️
I love this! I'd never heard of a nonet before.
You did it, I know you could

Well done! Thanks for the reminder on what form that was. I was scratching my head as I noticed the pattern.
