NONET POEM ACTUALLY HAS 10 LINES, NOT 9! WHAT!?


Gilbert Mzenzi Mabasa Here's how according to a Zimbabwean poet Gilbert Mzenzi Mabasa who subject to my latest ‪#‎Nonet‬ poem post and explanation observed that, actually all nonet poems have 10 Lines not 9. Just that the 10th line has no (0) word to it... Hehehehehehe.

He then went ahead to express his poetic "hypothesis" in a...yes Nonet poem, his maiden effort. Please read it below:

THE TENTH LINE AT ZERO

While I admit to having never heard of it
Until the moment when I heard you say
The nonet has but only nine lines
Then it hit me that indeed
The tenth line is present
Where the number of
Words in it
Remains at
Zero.
