Ninette form poem about writing a difficult script scene. For the A-Z Poetic Form Contest.
Write.
Rewrite.
Why won't this
scene work for me?
Who gave my script life
and told it to
misbehave?
I've gone
nuts.





Ninette: Consists of nine lines, each increasing in one syllable, and then at the midpoint the lines start decreasing by one syllable. The form, when centered, appears like a paper lantern. You can have as many verses as you wish, but make sure you write less than 40 lines to keep to the contest rules.
