This looks like you wrote it to match the picuture. I guess if you have moles you want to get rid of them but exterminator is a depressing job.

Well someone has to do this job I guess. I know they are bad news, but such cuties at the same time. You have delivered a very clever poem here, with great choice of word description.
Enjoyed it, serious, but fun at the same time. Good luck x

Superb use of the long o & l-controlled rime! Executed on every line!
Great job description & its challenges! Nice plot! "All in a day's work!'
Love the use of cajole! Also, personifies the mole!
Who knew one mole could require so much work?!
Great job with the Nonet!

Clever prompt (mole hole). I enjoyed the rhyming--adds another level. Anyone ever bothered with moles can relate. Also enjoyed the humor. Fun!

I'll tell you what - you did very good. You managed to maintain a nonet structure, but I still felt it could be improved a bit. For example, while the number of syllables is correct (9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1) the actual poem lines do not perfectly line up to create a triangle. I know it's easily said than done, but that is why I hope the winner of this contest will be the one who will manage to line up them both - syllables and a shape of the poem.
Good luck, though.
JB

    Thank you for the amazing five stars! I note what you say about the triangular form. I'm new to this and that never occurred to me before. I feel that, as this is a competition entry, I shouldn't edit it at this stage, but I will certainly bear it in mind for the future. Voting for the competition closes soon. I would be overjoyed if these five stars were reflected with your vote! Thank you again.
