Today’s #verselove prompt was an opportunity to revise. So often the poetry I post during April are first draft efforts, producing a daily poem rather than refining pieces begun. So I took time today to go back to yesterday’s triolet. I had some ideas about what I wanted to get to and rather than staying with the triolet form, instead I took on another new (to me) form: a nonet poem.

Looking into the shiny mirror

sky and water dance in colors

teal to blue to steely gray

lighting the way to see

unexpected view

beyond the sea

waves inhale

exhale
