Loving you was writing a nonet:
a tapered truth. There was only
so much I could do. It was
asking: “do I like this
creation? What I’ve
become?” Toil just
to unlove,
brace, and
lose.

Author's Note: This poem was inspired by the fact that I am a free-form poet by my truest nature, and these syllable restrictions frustrate me to no end, lol. In fact, I often read my nonets back and hate them. Sometimes, I even feel embarrassed to have posted certain ones, because I'll re-read them a few days later (with a fresh outlook) and realize that my rhymes don't flow as well as I could have made them without the tapering line restraints.
Regardless, I'm still addicted to this challenge. 😅 It's kinda unhealthy, to be honest. 🤭
