Without Fear



According to what little I can find on the net, the Nove Otto poetic form is a poetry form created by Scott J. Alcorn. It is a nine-lined poem with eight syllables per line (isosyllabic). The rhyme scheme is as follows: aacbbcddc.

Here's my attempt to use this style. Hope you enjoy.

Without Fear

Twisting twirling whirling feet
No music they'd decline to meet
My girls, they dance.
Around and round in frenzied rapture.
No word or picture can truly capture
The way that they entrance.
My babies, my joys, my one true thing
Your freedom, it begs my heart to sing
and believe in taking chances.
