Haiku by Cats



for the cat lovers...
> Haiku written by cats
>
> ----
> The food in my bowl
> Is old, and more to the point
> Contains no tuna.
> ----
> So you want to play.
> Will I claw at dancing string?
> Your ankle's closer.
> ----
> There's no dignity
> In being sick - which is why
> I don't tell you where.
> ----
> Seeking solitude
> I am locked in the closet.
> For once I need you.
> ----
> Tiny can, dumped in
> Plastic bowl. Presentation,
> One star; service: none.
> ----
> Am I in your way?
> You seem to have it backwards:
> This pillow's taken.
> ----
> Your mouth is moving;
> Up and down, emitting noise.
> I've lost interest.
> ----
> The dog wags his tail,
> Seeking approval. See mine?
> Different message.
> ----
> My brain: walnut-sized.
> Yours: largest among primates.
> Yet, who leaves for work?
> ----
> Most problems can be
> Ignored. The more difficult
> Ones can be slept through.
> ----
> My affection is conditional.
> Don't stand up,
> It's your lap I love.
> ----
> Cats can't steal the breath
> Of children. But if my tail's
> Pulled again, I'll learn.
> ----
> I don't mind being
> Teased, any more than you mind
> A skin graft or two.
> ----
> So you call this thing
> Your "cat carrier." I call
> These my "blades of death."
> ----
> Toy mice, dancing yarn
> Meowing sounds. I'm convinced:
> You're an idiot.
