Reflected Reality (Double Nonet)

Reflected reality

Serenity sings from blue bayou,
Across the tranquil mist to you.
Whispered music to my soul,
Caressing, finessing,
Love crafting us whole;
Sharing our lives,
Forever
Foretold
Of
The
Tortured,
Polished death
In deep reflect,
See the angel's die;
Such pleasure brings measure
To the demons' bleeding eyes.
Witness them scheme with loaded gun
Their Evil slaughter blacks out the sun.

A Nonet has nine lines. The first line has nine syllables,
the second line eight syllables, the third line seven
syllables, etc... until line nine that finishes with one
syllable. It can be on any subject and rhyming is optional.

    Hello Michael.

    I thought I'd delve into your library today and guess what I found? Another made up form. :)

    No, this is great and actually, I HAVE heard of this form. As Cindy points out, the way this flips from a soothing, loving read to a second part filled with dark imagery is clever and creative.

    Take care,

    You did an awesome job with this form.

    Sing serenity from blue bayou,
    Across the tranquil mist to you.
    Play your music to my soul,
    Caressing, finessing,
    Love crafting us whole;
    Sharing our lives,
    Forever
    Foretold
    Of

    The first part of this gives that feeling of such love. Great imagery.

    The
    Tortured,
    Polished death
    In deep reflect,
    See the angel's die;
    Such pleasure brings measure
    To the demons' bleeding eyes.
    Witness them scheme with loaded gun
    Their Evil slaughter, murderous fun.

    Then the second part just hits you with chills. Such creepy visions from your words.

    I really enjoyed the way you flipped this piece.
    Excellent job!
    Take care

    Think your word choice could have been better but otherwise it was ok.
