Star struck, sweet saplings singing softly;
-------------superiority swimming,
scavenging stubbornly smiles,
stuck, sorrowfully sore;
these whirling letters,
aroma corsets,
mind filled of
summer’s
buzzzz.

Author notes
Nonets have 9 lines, with line one 9 syllables, line 2 8 syllables and so on. Instead of writing a classical one I tried to give it more of a contemporary feel.

Beautiful take on the nonet form. Spectacular images and alliteration to die for.
Most interesting title (I'm not sure my tongue can manage to say it though. )
Thanks for entering.

I loved the alliteration in this poem and I enjoyed the contemporary feel. Line 3 is only six syllables so I know you will want to correct this before the contest closes. Thank you for your entry. You have such an inventive mind and never write the same poem twice. Peace, Liz
