hey man, whatsup?
’tis the season to glow

hustlers glitter under streetlight
like shards of broken window
neon sign blinks cheap hotel

alley cats’ eyes flicker between
garbage dumpsters in row
yowling fight over dead fish

it’s Christmas eve, yeah
sell me some snow!

 

 

Linking with dVerse poets where Lillian hosts a “glowing” quadrille…

XII.
glow of a cat’s eyes
hunting for unwary mice
stealthy night prowler
tail twitches, whiskers quiver
hunch low, slink silent, then pounce!

No joy in this for the mouse (obviously) but another take on “joy of light” theme at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai.
