- I'm linked with Marian in the Imaginary Garden at http://withrealtoads.blogspot.com/2018/09/fussy-little-forms-nonet.html?m=1
- Today we are writing Nonet form poems. According to our teacher, Marian, a Nonetheless should have nine lines, the first with nine sylabels, next eight, then seven, and so on. We could follow that starting with a one syllable line and work our way up to nine again.
- The Old Possum was a name Eliot assumed when he corresponded with his children and he adopted it again for this book.
Cleverly done!
