Poetry: Cat Haiku
IDREAMOFCATS ^

Posted on 12/12/2001 5:47:30 AM PST by SAMWolf

You never feed me.
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
That will sure show you.

You must scratch me there!
Yes, above my tail!
Behold, elevator butt.

The rule for today
Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
New rule tomorrow.

In deep sleep hear sound
cat vomit hairball somewhere
will find in morning.

Grace personified.
I leap into the window.
I meant to do that.

Blur of motion, then-
silence, me, a paper bag.
What is so funny?

You're always typing.
Well, let's see you ignore my
sitting on your hands.

My small cardboard box.
You cannot see me if I
can just hide my head.

Terrible battle.
I fought for hours. Come and see!
What's a term paper?

Small brave carnivores
Kill pine cones and mosquitoes
Fear vacuum cleaner

I want to be close
to you. Can I fit my head
inside your armpit?

Wanna go outside.
Oh, crap! Help! I got outside!
Let me back inside!

Oh no! Big One
has been trapped by newspaper!
Cat to the rescue!

Humans are so strange.
Mine lies still in bed, then screams
Claws are not that sharp.

Cats meow out of angst
"Thumbs! If only we had thumbs!
We could break so much!"

The Big Ones snore now
Every room is dark and cold
Time for "Cup Hockey"

We're almost equals
I purr to show I love you
Want to smell my butt?

Anubis AND Nickolai

Stare at the faucet
Will it give it's precious cargo?
Clear sweet water drops.

You know I couldn't get Charlie to drink water from the faucet if I put her favorite food right next to the sink. Now the other one will come get you if there isn't running water at all times!!

I once had a cat
She wanted to be Saimin
With a little soy.

Cats are musical
Adorning Ukuleles
Singing in the strings.

You should try your hand at this. Or perhaps the class should be alerted? SO much talent there...

Don't mind if we do.... :-)

With whiskers twitching
Sights narrowed on fluffy tail
Was that howl a dog?

Ladybugs in the house
Such fine sport!
Bellies make good springboards.

I sprawl behind you
As you do dishes
Watch your feet you big dummy!

I ignore you!
You see my back
but my ears see you.

Dogs have owners.

Cats have staff.

One for mine:

Opposable thumbs
Lets me open cabinets
Mutant rules the house

Don't you just love the way they ignore the $10.00 catnip toy and play all day with a leaf that has fallen off a house plant?
