haiku my cat wrote: I call it “catku”

Iggy, the creator of many a Catku

My cat has his own Facebook page. When he’s online, he tends toward writing about his feelings and experiences in Haiku form. In honour of a true full “spring/summer” day, complete with the window left open for over 24 hours, following are some examples of his work.

—

a spring-time sleep

full of cat-nip and water

tomorrow, I dance

—

morning, late rising

no sun today just the clouds

resting in my nest

—

Mother: ticka-tick

Tick Tick Tick. Typing so much

As I sleep, so sound.

—

crunch of my pellets

listen: the traffic goes by

out there, in the sun

—

I was in the sun

but it has shifted away

warmth stays in my fur

the other eye winks
