Best Answer

A nine-line poem is technically called a nonet, but the scarcity of the form means that the word is very rarely used, or found.

Most poems set in nine-line stanzas follow the pattern of Sir Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene: eight lines in iambic pentameter, followed by a ninth line set in iambic hexameter (the extra foot, as well as the 12-syllable line itself, is called an Alexandrine.)

The usual rhyme scheme for such a stanza is A-B-A-B-B-C-B-C-C. The form is popular enough to have acquired its own term: a Spenserian stanza.

A sexain.

The last six lines of a Petrarchan Sonnet (whose 14 lines are usually thematically divided 8-6) is called a sestet.

The term is very rarely used, but a 12-line poem or musical verse would be called a duodecet.

Simply a 12 line poem. To qualify for a Sonnet the poem must be 14 lines.
