No One Appreciates My Visions... (a nonet)

I sit alone in my padded cell
just because no one else can see
the small elves and the fairies
that I readily can
so they think I'm nuts
trust me my friend
they are real
there's one
now








Nonet = structured poem where first line is 9 syllables, second is 8, third is 7, so on and so forth.  Thanks to Ronda and Marius for getting me hooked on this now!  :~)

They failed....

I'm 5 feet 10 inches tall, so I guess the magic mushrooms were defective... LOL!!

I Can't see Elves and things But flying chairs Seem to be common Around this place today Oh, wait, the redhead is mad Here comes another one at me Duck, that one took out the window panes *LOL* couldn't resist Jess. Just remember, you forgot to take the pill that makes you small. Good one. Rett: They say that money talks. Sadly, my wallet has laryngitis!

Thanks y'all!!

Mark - Shhhh.... my stash is limited so don't be telling the whole world. lmao! Peter - Like I said in the previous comment, the magic mushrooms failed on me. Besides, who wants to hang out with someone that chases bunnies all day? Anna - Great, now you have me singing! lol! Great song. Thanks for commenting. Richard - I can't wait to see what you come up with. Thanks for reading and commenting. Rett - That's pretty good right there! A reverse nonet? I was laughing too hard to try to count the syllables. Love the little mama birdie feeding baby there. ~Jess K. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~ "Everyone needs to believe in something.

Not bad for my first real structured write ever! I wanted to try to get the underwear gnomes in there, but they're on strike. Elves and fairies stepped up to the plate, though. You gotta try them, they're addictive! (the nonets, that is....not the fairies) ~Jess K. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~ "Everyone needs to believe in something.
