The nonarime is a stanza form as well as a special form of the Italian stanza. A stanza is a stanza, which is composed of eight Iambian lines with eleven syllables and a female cadence. Most of the time the punch follows the rhyme scheme / cc. A nonarime expands this structure. There are nine lines, ie an additional ending line, where the sequence of sequences corresponds to the pattern abababccb. The last verse therefore also rhymes with the second.
The term is derived from the Italian word sequence non rima and can therefore be translated with the noun Neunreim. This translation thus refers to the basic structure of the nonarims: a stanza characterized by rhymes and nine-line. Consequently, the nonarime is partly similar to a spenserstanza, which also consists of nine verses, albeit with a different rhyme scheme.
