Feline Dreams

blame not
the cat's repose
a cat is a cat

Author notes

Many people get angry at animals for being exactly what they are: animals. Dogs bark, cats sleep (and bring in mice and other vermin), and horses neigh, whinny, and be horses.

Not a very traditional haiku at all. I wish I had written this for that Contemporary Haiku contest...

Prompt: 1. * kitty * -

A contest entry

Of course, I wish a good critique. Will you oblige?

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!

  • I would never blame a cat for sleeping. for me, they are the essence of serenity and beauty. I don't know if I could ever sleep that much (18 hours a day apparently) but I envy the fact that they never have insomnia!

    Enjoyed your write.

      I thought it was 16, but 18 I suppose maes more sense. No cat could stay awake for 6 hours a day! What was I thinking? It is true they're not insomniacs. If that is the case, we all may have something to learn from them.

  • HA HA YES!!! and YES AGAIN cats rule and most just dont' realize it. but you did and that's y they don't claw you or eat you or hiss at u...unless provoked.

    My Gogurt would've loved this. btw here's her pic

      Cats win at life, because all they have to do is eat, sleep, and scratch things and their owners do whatever the cats want. And we, their slaves, still call them our pets.... no sense!

      I should send you a picture of my new kitten, Ping An. I'd need my normal computer, though. And ^_^ Asian kitty looks somewhat high.

  • Lol of course and that is what they d An excellent Contemorary Haiku Nick. Thank you so much for this entry
