Detailed explanation-1: -A nonet is a nine-line poem. In the nonet form, each line contains specific, descending syllable counts. The first line contains nine syllables, the second line contains eight, the third line contains seven, and so on. The last line of nonet poetry contains one syllable.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Spenserian stanza is a fixed verse form invented by Edmund Spenser for his epic poem The Faerie Queene (1590–96). Each stanza contains nine lines in total: eight lines in iambic pentameter followed by a single ‘alexandrine’ line in iambic hexameter.
Detailed explanation-3: -The number of lines in a poem is determined by whether a poet chooses to write in a specific form or free verse. Forms like sonnets have a set number of lines, while other forms are defined by stanza length. Poets who write in free verse have more flexibility in how many lines are in their poems.
Detailed explanation-4: -It is a nine stanza poem. It is syllabic. The first eight stanzas consist of both a four and five syllable line, in either order, followed by a “quip” of one or two words limited to three syllables. The final stanza consists of a pair of four syllable lines each followed by one of the “quips” previously used.
