This world has all kinds of listening
They’re all kinds of streams in this world
There are all kinds of smooth stones
in the streams of this world
So, stone-smoothing streams
are good places
to practice
quiet –
shhhh
The Day Nine prompt was to write a nonet, a nine-line poem with a descending number of syllables in each line.
This poem was inspired by a children’s book called Open House for Butterflies by Ruth Krauss and illustrated by Maurice Sendak. The graphic is an illustration from that book.

I like the alliteration in your poem. It adds to the subtly silent sounds of the stone smoothing stream! Makes me feel like I’m there quietly listening.

Thank you so much, Heather. I love that illustration I used as a graphic. Another illustration is captioned “The world has all kinds of ears.” and there’s a drawing of all these dogs. It is a delightful way to view the world.

It is a wonderful illustration. Perhaps the “The world has all kinds of ears” will inspire another poem!
