witnessed by stars
cheshire cat
smiles


2.

snow discovery!
kitten dislikes
cold taste


3.

lolling by fire
paws tickle
warm air


4.

mew from kitchen--
empty bowl, again

a cat does not
appreciate
delicate rose petals

window protection
the cat watches
curious world

Little black cat,
lily pollen:
orange stripe

wicked claws strike
on unsuspecting terrier.

slumbering prowess:
it’s a hard
life

yellow eyes yearn,
paw pads
koi pool waters

ssh!

I wasn't going to do HaikuWriMo this year as I have other writing things on the go. However the nearer I got to the begining of February, the less I could resisit!

I did say something to `MSJames about using cat references in all 28 haiku, but we'll see.


Also- I thought it would be really funny to have this lovely picture of my own cat, Jaffa, who clearly doesn't approve of the snow!

day 1: i really like the duality in meaning of the expression 'cheshire cat' in this haiku; it could mean the crescent moon, or it could point to an actual cat staring at starlit sky.

day 2: point! i can imagine the face the kitten made: <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />

day 3: oh man, this is comfort and relaxation epitomized in the person of a cat.

day 4: i'm too familiar with this one <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />

day 5: my cats even bit cactus and plastic flowers. anything that pokes out and gets in the way is to be eliminated. hmm.

day 7: lovely image, the orange stripe of pollen is so eye-catching.

day 8: ouch!

day 9: as this is grouped under the collection of CATkuwrimo, it is very apparent in meaning. if it was presented as a single, the main subject of the haiku will be unknown.

day 10: do you mean &#039<img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />ats'?

i wish you have more of these cat haiku. they really make me smile!
