kitty litter


there once roamed a fine feline pack

who desired royal avian snack:

“let’s pounce on low crows,

 tasty drumsticks dispose

but the feathers we’ll gladly give back!”


cartoon by Louis Wain

Poetry prompt with Melissa at dVerse to write on Wain’s cat cartoons without using word, “cat”.

XIV.

 

hunt with Orion

Betelgeuse blinks his red eye

i smile…and wink back

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.
