Sevenling (domesticated)

domesticated cats
hunt dust bunnies,
twisty tabs and shadows

whereas dogs
loyal goofs, love laps,
kibble, squeaky toys, fetch

I loathe doing laundry

2. unrhymed.
3. composed with 3 complimentary images in the first tercet and 3 parallel images in the second tercet. The end line is a juxtaposed summary of the 2 parallels, a sort of “punchline”.
4. the poem should be titled “Sevenling: (first few words of poem).
