Vagabond. [Double Nonet]

by Natasha   Feb 26, 2013


Walking around, across the city
With no one fine place to merge-in
To one's eyes, he is tireless
But I see this man's guile
Where does he come from?
Where does he live?
Children?
Wife?

I,
Sometimes
Had the urge
To question him
I can't let my thoughts
and doubts overtake me.
As time flies, I learn that the
Man I've seen roving through the street
Is actually a stray wanderer.

    A mature piece and speaks volumes. I love it that you lived to the form and presented your message aptly!
    Keep penning:)

    Nonets are a difficult form because you are so limited, and when you get to the "meat" of the poem, it's usually the smallest part - like here.

    I thought this was really interesting. I could see a lonely, tired man walking, looking for something but never finding anything. Brought me a very sad image!

    "To one's eyes, he's tireless
    But I see this man's guile"
    ^I think both of them have the same syllable count - 6 syllables.

    "Man I seen roving through the street"
    ^Man [I've] seen roving through the street

    Other than that, I think you did great, hmmm, another form ha, well done. Looking forward to read another form from you!
