A Feline Nonet

Cats
Felines
Furry friends
Purring partners
Kissable kittens
Mischievous meowers
Careful, cautious calico
Ferociously feisty furballs
Curiously cuddly companions

*Originally published in The Poetry Playground on Medium.

A nonet is a poem with nine lines. The first line includes only one syllable, the second line has two, and so on until the last line of nine. It can also be written in reverse form (like the one above).

Thanks for reading! If you enjoyed this feline nonet, please leave a comment and follow me for more.
