Note : A *#Ninette* is a type of poem which contains nine lines, each line with a difference of one syllable from the previous one. The syllables increase with one number, from the first line until the midpoint where they start decreasing.

The syllable count of a Ninette is one, two, three, four, five, four, three, two and then back to one. The first and the last line of this type of poem do not have to be necessarily the same. They can either be synonyms or antonyms. If you form a Ninette and then center it, you will get a paper lantern-like design. A Ninette is entirely different from a Rictameter in terms of syllable count and the structure.
