It's #TankaTuesday, and Willow is leading us with a beautiful prompt. She invites participants to write a Nonet and use synonyms for (1) the state of the world, or (2) the state of our lives. I've decided to focus on the second option.
There are several forms of Nonets, and I've chosen a Double Inverted Nonet, with syllables of 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9, 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. It sounds complicated, but it's not -- as long as you can count to nine. 😊
Because hubby and I just celebrated our nineteen anniversary, I've written a Nonet about our beginnings and our continued life together. I hope you enjoy it.
I've entitled it SOFTLY YES.
