Day9 prompt requires we write in a specific form – the nonet! A syllabic poetry form with nine lines. The first line has nine syllables, the second eight, and so on until you get to the last line, which has just one. Mine includes acrostic. Hope you enjoy it.
Are you happy? Or are you one who thinks that happiness is yet to come to you? Say, after you achieve such and such a thing? Or perhaps you feel that you are not deserving of happiness? That everyone gets a quota on happiness, and since you already experienced some once, you've already met yours. Or perhaps you feel you need to give up something -- which you're not ready to give up yet -- to get you there? Or, and this is the saddest, perhaps you're clinging on to old beliefs, sabotaging you from getting you to that happy place? Here's the thing, you are deserving of happiness.

Taking a fantastical wild ride with the wind like I ‘used to’ in yester-years. Come ride with me, why don’t you, as together we explore this new Zéjel form that’s a Spanish form with lovely history: Arabic influence related to the Qasida and adopted by the Spanish troubadours of 15th century. Enjoy.
A photo prompt to drive things forward in the new week. Happy fourth Monday in May, everyone. Stay happy-- it looks good on you.
