Neither...nor...or?
It is generally established that the "neither...nor" structure can only be used when there are two objects in question. That being said, I was wondering if you could help me rephrase my negative sentence that has three objects.
"Without you, my poetry(/poem?) would have neither rhyme, nor subject or(?) object."
Or maybe:
".Without you, my poetry would not have neither any rhyme, nor any subject or object"
.Thank you
