Cornucopia: Nonet count down and up

Nonet: 9-syllabel count-down story with count-up story

by Kate Chamberlin

My new guide dog is young and friskey.

She likes to chase birds, leaves, and cats.

I do not like to chase them.

She behaves in harness,

Calmly walks with me.

Forward, Good Dog.

Uh! Oh!  Cat!

Slow down!

Sit!

Come

Good dog!

Hup, let’s go

Find the white line

Hup. Find the mailbox

Good dog. Here’s a kibble.

Hup. Tulip find the shoreline

This is a good pace for walking

My black lab is a happy guide dog.

What picture do you get when you put a nonet 9-line count up poem after a nonet 9-line count down poem?

My new guide dog is young and friskey.

She likes to chase birds, leaves, and cats.

I do not like to chase them.

She behaves in harness,

Calmly walks with me.

Good dog!

Do you know what an hour-glass is?
