Ms. Latham was a guest teacher on Writers on Writing workshop at Read Aloud Revival where she taught the attendees how to write a nonet poem. I purchased this book so the boys could be familiar with this type of poetry before the workshop.
A nonet is a poem that either starts with a line that has nine syllables or ends with nine syllables. The lines in between either decrease or increase by one. I was amazed at the wide-variety of topics Ms. Latham included in this tiny book. Each poem was related somehow to the number nine.
Like I mentioned in an earlier post, each of my boys wrote a nonet and shared it with Ms. Latham. She kindly responded, adding insightful comments and thoughtful compliments.
-I own this book.
