Cat Haiku by Elizabeth Froebel


The rule for today
Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
New rule tomorrow.
               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.
 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?
The mighty hunter
Returns with gifts of plump birds --
your foot just squashed one.
               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
                                             Wanna go outside.
                                             Oh, rats! Help! I got outside!
                                             Let me back inside!
I want to be close
to you. Can I fit my head
inside your armpit?
               Oh no! Big One
               has been trapped by newspaper!
               Cat to the rescue!
Humans are so strange.
Mine lies still in bed, then screams
My claws are not that sharp.
               The Big Ones snore now
              Every room is dark and cold
               Time for "Glass Hockey"
                                             Cats meow out of angst
                                             "Thumbs! If only we had thumbs!
                                             We could break so much!"
