Playing with Haiku

Standard

I’ve been playing around with haiku lately as a means to keep me writing.  Here are three I wrote inspired by my pets:

Guinea pigs

Balls of fluff squeaking,
Nibbling then hide from
The hand that feeds them.

Kitten

Curled up on my lap;
Purring, soft.  A cold blooded
Killer in training.

Rabbit

Fierce, old girl.  She
Defends her terrain.  Bite marks
dent skin to prove it.

  1. Haiku is cool as a means to keep writing – it also teaches us to be economical and make every word count. I should do more of it myself. Thanks for the reminder.
    Oh and love the kitten one especially – bless! Claws and all!
