indoors – Selected haiku

15 January 2022

photographing cute
cat poses before they move
is like herding cats

Grey menace tries sink-
-ing his teeth into beer bot-
-tle; his prey prevails

all shall bend the knee
and swear their fealty to the
baby carrots' king

Christmas tree, covered
with baubles, looks bare without
a cat at its base

to initiate 
request, cat sits on your chest, 
looks imperious

fluffy cat rests next
to your legs, fueling your love, 
his future mischief

father-daughter quest
for groceries met success:
sweet dad found honey

two cats arrange them-
-selves in a sweet tableau, but
which should I pet first?

Kyp observes shifted
objects, does not consider
impending cleaning

lime floats in gin and
tonic like a fish, attracts
fluffy predator
