Frank hosts haibun Monday (moon day) at dVerse poets’ pub.
Cats hunt by the light of the moon, on the prowl for frightened mice, lost birds, or warm baby bunnies. They slink sleekly; wait with tail twitching…then pounce without an ounce of apology. Cats are soft fur & purr, sharp fang & claw. They yowl and croon at the midnight hour. Mating is a loud caterwauling affair…must lust happen just below an open window?
mysterious moon
catwalks across night sky
gleams in black cat’s eye

Yes, cats and the Moon go so well together!

Cats are so wild really… we just imagine that they are tame.

So true, Bjorn! They may purr while petted, then turn on you.

A wonderfully clever haibun, connecting the light of the moon to the night time escapades of our feline population.

“mysterious moon

You’ve captured the connection between cats and the moon. I especially like the haiku. (K)

You’ve captured the pure essence of the cat here, Lynn! I love your complaint ‘must lust happen just below an open window?’ They really do it noisily, don’t they? Made me laugh!

You made my morning with your feline haibun, Lynn! You probably already know that one of my cats is called Luna, and she is the hunter of the two. I love the phrase ‘pounce without an ounce of apology’ – so true. And such a great haiku with the moon catwalking across the night sky!
Sep 29, 2020 @ 06:27:36
Glad you enjoyed my haibun, Kim! Luna is a fitting name for a night hunter 🙂

I love your cat haibun! Sounds like you have had some experience with cats. The haiku is a great closing!

Thanks, Dwight…yes, plenty of interesting cats have graced our farm place 🙂

I can imagine!

They are quite sharp those felines 🙂 and perhaps nothing misses their eye. A fabulous write as always, Lynn ❤️

You’re sweet, Sanaa ❤

There are such wonderful phrases in your haibun: “frightened mice,” “slink sleekly,” “pounce without an ounce of apology.”

Thank you, Jenna 🙂
