Short Whole Nine Yards The Poems

Work, loot, kill, the whole nine yards.
The lengths folks go for the dough;
willing to sell out their souls!
Good and bad deeds done.

She
sets sail,
November,
riding waves of
eddy leaves left from October’s debut.
Majestic and proud, she takes firm command,
steering the bow
of Winter
toward
Spring....

9 is the premier perfect power 
Very special and sacred number,
The highest single-digit number
The first composite lucky number,
Let’s go the whole nine yards, nine planets
Nine circles of hell, Nine Bright Shiners,
And nine is the number of heaven
And nine universal elements,
It is an ultimate trinity.

Nine,  the number of innings in a baseball game
If you're on cloud nine,  it's happiness you proclaim
Everything included means you want the whole nine yards

Nine judges on the supreme court act like retards
In nine months a baby emerges from the womb
A cat has nine lives is what we assume

If you're dressed to the nines, then  you're fine
 A standard work day will usually begin at nine
All entries in this contest must have nine lines...

Here’s idiomatic lines for nine.

Why does a stitch in time just save nine?

Why’s possession nine points of the law?

Indeed, why did the cat have nine tails?

Perhaps it’s because it had nine lives?

Why would someone go the whole nine yards?

Should cats and dogs be cats and canines?

Is this poem a nine days’ wonder?

If not, then I will be on cloud nine!
