More than a quarter of the way through the month. Today's style was Terza Rima (a style of Dante). It is three lines with 10 or 11 syllables each. Rhyming scheme is ABA, BCB, CDC, etc. I kept mine much simpler than Dante's.
Little cat, you must eat, if not from a bowl
Then perhaps from a saucer or a small plate,
Perhaps from a cup that to the brim is full
Little cat, I know not when you last ate,
But your not eating now causes distress,
And my constant fussing makes you irate
Your claws have entangled the skirt of my dress,
Cries most piteous escape with a howl.
Eyedropper in open mouth brings success.
