Kitten Chicken

    Kitten Chicken is a a fun filled children’s poem. It is the exploits of a chicken 'chick' (a very young chicken) who puts on a kitten mask and plays --- or is it the other way around?!! There are plenty of references in each line to the various ways we 'pull chickens' into our everyday life, like the chicken dance, and just crossing the road.  

    Each stanza is four lines and there are 5 stanzas. The rhyme scheme is A, B, A, B . The first and third lines each are 11 syllables and the second and fourth lines each are 8 syllables. While the structure of 5 stanzas has been maintained as 5 chapter breaks, each stanza has had its lines split-apart in order to preserve the intent (the pacing) of each line, and thus each line is given its own page; there may be instances, however, where managing the evolution of the poem in your mind, some lines have been split into multiple pages (making it so a chapter is not necessarily equal to the count of lines of a stanza).
