LIGHT
light
the key
to what is
labelled as truth
illuminating
darkness of ignorance
revealing clearly what is
amidst all doubt and confusion
the magnificent power of light

I have written Count Down (going from10 to 1) decastich (a poem in 10 lines) before but not the Nonet form (going 1 to 10). Thank you for sharing your LIGHT with us. May there be more light in the darkness.
Thanks for your comment.
Nonets that I have previously written
used the scheme with line 1 - nine syllables
and each successive line decreasing the syllable count
thereby making the last line, line - 9, one syllable.
An example of this is:
I reversed the order of the syllable count in this poem.
This was influenced by the following poem of gingergee:
where she stated in
About this poem:
"Definition poetry as the word suggests, defines the subject.
Triangular poems, are one of the shapes you can make a poem conform to, in shape or concrete poetry.
Nonets are poems of nine lines, where the first line is one syllable, and you add one syllable to each subsequent line, until the ninth line has nine syllables."
I would like to view your Count Down (going from 10 to I) poem.
Thank you.
Kathy
I know your poems reflect your sincere feelings,
especially about your feline friends
and that is what really matters.
Take Care.

I formatted the poem like a christmas tree,
as you mentioned, with a light on top
glad you enjoyed the piece.
Best Wishes!
