Hello blog friends,

Today poet Colleen Chesbro celebrates her 65th birthday with an invitation. She asks that we create a poem of 65 syllables or 65 words. All participants must also name their new construct.

I've created a poem of fifteen lines and 65 syllables (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-9-7-6-5-4-3-2-1). It's similar to a Double Inverted Nonet, so I'm calling it an Adjusted Nonet. 😊

Happy Birthday, Colleen. I hope it is special in all ways. ❤️
