Day 25 – Blood and Bones

Hello all! National Poetry Writing Month is on! It’s the time when poets from all around the world exhibit their love for the art of poetry writing. 😄

My poem for Day 25 is titled Blood and Bones! It’s a Nonet poem. A Nonet is a poem that tails away to a vanishing point. The first line has 9 syllables, the next 8, then 7, and so on down to 1. Have a look at my attempt.


Guilt, a monster that will eat up your
Conscience, hollow you from within.
Feed on your pains, your tears, thrive
On your fears, until all
That is left of you
Is a wilting
Carcass of
Blood and
Bones.
