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.
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!
Thanks Hollyanne, I think the kitten one works best too and the kitty in question definitely has claws included he’s in that nutty stage – soon to be neutered poor thing 😉
For some the nutty stage never goes away…. ! Certainly hasn’t for my one-eyed female, but she’s still gorgeous. Bless ’em!
