Is this a vegetable nonet? Is it a nonet at all?

Question

Of faith and tomatoes

by C.S. Scotkin

Something I planted bloomed today. Brave

little tomato plant with faith

greater than that mustard seed,

ignoring the rumor

started by me that

I have a brown,

plant killing,

clumsy

thumb.

Answer 1

I have never seen a rule that says a Nonet may not contain enjambment. Good for that faith in overcoming a clumsy thumb.

Answer 2

A nonet is a musical composition for 9 voices or instruments.

No, this is not a nonet.

Did you mean sonnet?

n.  

A 14-line verse form usually having one of several conventional rhyme schemes.

A poem in this form.

Answer 3

Ya i think it is!

keep the watering steady

and fluff the dirt around mr. greeny

all the time. get your trellis ready!

nice going!!

Answer 4

Whatever you want to call it doesn't matter to me. I like it, lots of imagination went into it!  Good job!! Cheers!!

Answer 5

Yes! This is most definitely a vegetable nonet, although with a different feel than I've seen before. I've never seen a nonet with two sentences in the first stanza. It doesn't mean it's wrong, it just isn't something I've seen. I love it, and, being in companionship with your brown thumb, I totally understand. Plants and flowers tremble as I walk by, grateful that I do not stop to admire them, save from afar.

Answer 6

Yes - I think it qualifies as long as you obtain 9 tomatoes. Congratulations - to the new mama- on the start of a new life you've nurtured. See - all things are possible ♥
