Femme Fatale

black cat

Cold-hearted feline,

Smugly bats her eyelashes,

Struts across the lawn.


If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that my Haiku was written for our cat “Gypsy” who thinks she rules the roost (and likes to ignore people). BUT, she was nice enough to pose for the featured image, so I’ll cut her some slack.

We love Gypsy. She waits at the front door and signals us with the cutest and meekest meow, so we’ll let her in. Then she sashays her way straight to the back door and waits again, for us to let her out to the backyard. I guess she’s too good to use the gate. Ha! Anyway…

Thanks for reading.
A good afternoon to you all!

      Thanks! Was just going to say the same to you. Yours look a little annoyed. Or tired. 😉

    If Edgar Allan Poe had written haiku, he’d have probably written haiku like this.

    Lovely haiku. Beautiful photo. I love my cat, although I have never captured such a majestic image of him as you did of Gypsy! Job well done.
