Humans are so strange. Mine lies still in bed, then screams; My claws are not that sharp. Great read - my fave cat haiku (although not funny) is by Basho: Girl cat, so thin on barley and love. Shall save these and send them on. I nearly peed myself... I miss my cat.. Damn Tom Cat Tendancies.. Hilarious. cakebelly, I may be wrong but I think a haiku has 3 lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables. Is yours a translation? 'cos I like it. @Elfrida - good point, I should have credited the translators: Lucien Stryk & Takashi Ikemoto. The poem is from "The Penguin Book of Zen Poetry" (1981 edition). Basho's work was collected into a slim volume called "On Love and Barley" (I copied out it longhand in the library, once - but have left the copy in the UK ) can't recall if Stryk translated the latter, too. Whomever(?) wrote these certainly knows cats. EDIT: I copied it out (of course) not "I copied out it" |
