Panther [Lyric]

The panther is a scary cat:
Hardcore Hellcat primed for combat.
Except - that is - I have to say
The twenty hours it sleeps per day.

One Eye [Senryū]

cat stares
through one good eye,
like a bond villain.

Cheetah [Lyric Poem]

A Cheetah can beat a Porsche to a hundred.
(Imagine the tumble if a clumsy one blundered.)
In fact, Cheetah's are so very, very fast
that your future is way, way back in its past.

Cat [Lyric Poem]

Seems wrong to call cat ladies crazy;
It's the perfect pet for the lazy.
Put out some food, water, and a box,
And sit back and be crazy like a fox.

Cat & Burglar [Senryū]

a cat / burglar
brashly slips through a window
in broad daylight.

Shadow Cat [Haiku]

even by daylight,
the black cat is a shadow --
devoid of depth.

Water Sound [Haiku]

the sound of rain
and thundering waterfalls:
a cat sleeps soundly.

Garden Carp [Haiku]

saffron-colored carp
mill about the garden pond.
 a cat watches...

Pile of Sleeping Cats [Haiku]

counting ears
 to learn how many cats,
  but how deep 's the pile?

Christmas Cat [Haiku]

sitting on a wall,
 beside the potted poinsettias,
  a cat grooms itself.
