Haiku Cats... Take Your Pick of the Litter

by Joan McNerney

Shut Eye

Black and white kitten

lying under clothesline in

soft circles of sleep.

Weather Weary

Calico cat

curving corners

against the fan.

Free Throw

A tiger cat with

big green eyes

tosses balls of string.

Lunch Break

Black cat curls tail

blinking yellow eyes

hungry eyes.

Maestro

What does this cat think

strumming his tail with such ease

to fugues of Bach?

Voyeur

Inquisitive...

the gingersnap cat stares as

I get undressed.
