A Rose Can Cry
The rosebud is drenched with morning dew so that a single teardrop falls. When given to a lover, the petals shiver with anticipation, breathing a sigh. Who said a rose can't cry?

Here's an INVERSE nonet from a recent challenge I just responded to today:Weak Tea
brew weakly with finesse and you'll avoid physical pounding in either chest or mind and prevent your entering global emergency treatment or a close call for caffeine overdose
© MLee Dickens'son 2013 a challenge of 10 words, in order: brew, weak, finesse, (a)void, physical, mind, enter, global, treatment, close

Wow Daniel, I'm so glad you brought this form to the forefront with your post and I'm impressed that you did so in a challenge format. I had never seen this poetic exercise before (or noticed it). From looking at the post dates, it has seen no action since '05 and that was before I joined MM so I went back to the beginning and read all the posts. The one that intrigued me the most was the "acrostic / nonet". Loving a challenge, I thought I'd try my hand at one of these and jump in with both feet with an inverse double acrostic nonet. So, as Merlin is wont to say: "here 'tis!" Seasonal Shapes
Tree Shape of my Nonet

No Net Scapes
If I Funnel - Punishers If one is to turn things downside up, figure which way is up to you instead of starting off down find their unfixed loci, use your awareness, noting how each notch is pie edged for looks
This is difficult but a good brain exercise!

INVERSE NONET: o u t l i n e d
looks deceive when Larry takes up a pen; not only must you carefully read between his brain-stimulating lines but also must notice the end and beginning letters in each one

Follow the Leader
ELATION IS HUBRIS PIE each line you add’s a crumb trail followed for its guidance. When I observed some of Daniel’s nonets, I thought, “Add a quip” instead of quitting. I thought that I should explore, flatter and emulate.
Thanks for the crumbs!

INVERSE NONET: Ahead in the Clouds?
love
to climb
your ladder
to a cloud realm
and gaze at chaos
in some warm illusion
of prosperity's success
before suffering painfully
long falls down onto reality
© MLee Dickens'son 2013
from challenge words: love, climb, ladder, cloud, realm, gaze, chaos, some, illusion, fall

In Verse Upright Explanation
a planned acrostic if describing the form a placid lake’s image and reflections needs bits of cryptic notes for each border, enclosing the line’s loci; designating a style we dub acrostics in double nonets. I challenge any writer, if and when rearranging constructs, to bring open minds, tremendous wit, sagacity that’s paired with tactfulness and care in what’s said if class must go in your form

Deliberate Hope
Ponder every option during times of strain, with no hurry to mark some final standard; allow the rain to fill your pot for brewing brisk tea to drink as sun shines anew on fresh hope

Daniel, I've been working on this for nearly a month because an idea flashed in my mind when I read your answer to a challenge. Thought I'd use the same words and do a double acrostic with them. Hope that was okay. Larry To Refresh and Reduce with The Perfect Cup
tea
option
resurfaced
each time brewer
finished one, he’d hope
revised methods pondered
excelled with final marks. you
strain it fresh like rain but panic,
hurry to beat the morning sunshine
Thanks Daniel!

Great job, Larry... and of course it's okay!! My only suggestion for ANY poem that's an acrostic, however, is that the acrostic be its TITLE, thus... TO REFRESH AND REDUCE deLightingly, Daniel

Here's another double acrostic you might enjoy. poem title is the skin
On Hula Parties
poi
oozes
escapes pot
making a splash
that helps luaus be
interesting and keeps
the inner fires lit. Men think
loose grass skirts are an alibi
encouraging them to join the fun.
Larry
