No No Nonet
No
I said
Go to sleep
Not now I said
Enough is enough
No…stop it’s not funny
Get from under the covers
No… I said don’t tickle my feet
No… I didn’t say yes…well perhaps!

I thought it was a right way up one?
Shows how much I know about structure! -

Oh don't take my understanding as gospel! - I could well have remembered wrong.
It was a very long time ago that the memory came from! -

I thought you started at one syllable and worked up. I guess you could do either

You could try one starting with nine syllables and reducing to one as well!

A nonet traditionally starts with the longest line,but I see nothing wrong with your style. I know more about nonets in music Schubert used nine musician on occasions there being no general rule the group would take turns in various combinations. the octet was more popular
I think I prefer your upside down style may try it myself if you will excuse the copying . No doubt you have seen the diamond shaped poems.-

Ah thanks for that.
I prefer the build up that the "upside down" version gives.
I've seen the diamond shaped ones and written some reversible ones but I prefer not to be restricted too much by form.
I look forward to reading your upside down one -

Read it from bottom to top-
