Animal Nonet Contest Entry
Rocky by LyndaS
Animal Nonet writing prompt entry



Meet my curious and coy young man.
It took all summer to build trust.
Peanuts in the shell was bait.
Luring him took patience.
My reward complete
when he took one
from my still,
steadfast
hand.

Writing Prompt
Write a nonet poem about your favourite animal.

Author Notes
This is a true story. I named him after Rocket J. Squirrel from the Rocky and Bullwinkle show. (You younger writers....Google it.) This picture taken about 15 minutes ago. If I go outside, he will come running from everywhere to get his treats. He was pretty scraggly last year. Now he's a puffball of fur with a tail to die for. I haven't been able to lure any other squirrels. Just him. I really enjoy him.
