filou, i envy
you being a falcon, i
am just a vulture
-------
aerodynamic
grace, a will to hunt, sharp claws,
beak, two strong, clear eyes
-------
you perch on your mom's
shoulder, i sit on the shelf
dropping books on dad.
-------
to be able to
fly! climb, dive, soar, what would the
house look like after?
still lauphing, thats hilarios! did u write that? i love it!:) ;) :cool:
~ Jess and mo ~
dropping a picture
and a wooden cat on mom
she would not stand up
from the cat tree to
the bookshelf do you really
believe I need wings?
my dad thinks i'm a
devil with all the trouble
i can get into
-------
a small pair of wings
to show i'm the angel he
never thinks i am
tasmania has
their own devil, my dad has
his own version-me!:D
-------
no horns on my head
cloven hoofs or a forked tail
but look in my eyes:eek:
-------
my pupils grow large
and my dad knows it's time to
run, hide-leave the room!
-------
a small pair of wings
won't fix the things i break but
no one is 'purrfect':cool:
devils and angels
are human categories
that don't bother us
mom says the greek word
means guys who mix all things up
intentionally
elegant cats
playful and comical kittens
that's what we are
stalking the mousies
killing the feather toys. yes
the porcelain bowl too
mischievous but not
awkward, attentive, never
deliberately
breaking the shampoo
bottle or the milk jar as
devils use to do
Barbara's sigh
How Joseph Conrad
how did you manage to write
your English novels
joseph conrad wrote
at the most opportune time,
the cats were asleep!
writer lilian
jackson braun has written quite
a few good cat 'tails'
I am cat; the muse
I inspire thee to write, then
Swat your pen away
Think you can foil me?
You turn to the computer,
I attack the mouse!
Think you can ignore?
I will help you type, flick my
Tail across your face
I am cat; the muse
But muses can be fickle
I am cat; love ME!
as a muse we have
mused and amused mankind for
quite a long long time
nighttime commando
where does your patrol take you
when you leave the bed?
-------
do you protect your
food?, your water? your toys? or
maybe dad, who sleeps?
-------
a taste of food -small
crunching noises in the dark
the sound of water
-------
water being drunk,
making sure no night goblins
have been partaking
-------
a peek thru the shades
at the world gone dark then a
look thru the front door
-------
private Katz reports
back to the snoring lump that
dreams under blankets
-------
back onto the bed
"remain sleeping dad, every
thing is safe and sound":)
filou, you are right
salmon is the best food in
the world for us cats
-------
i had a special
piece of fish cooked just for me-
fresh off of the grill!
-------
while dad cleaned dishes
i gave myself a nice bath
and went right to sleep.
if my dad decides
to have me cloned would that make
me a copy cat?
my dad talks to me
news sports and science but he
really likes physics
-------
"the laws of physics
and a cat, let's see what they
both have in common"
-------
inertia, force and
velocity, i think these
dont apply to me!
-------
an object (me) tends
to stay at rest until i
decide i should move
-------
an object (me) tends
to move with velocity
please watch where you step
-------
my inertia stops
when i decide to let you
give me some loving
-------
gravity does win
when i decide i want to
take a real long nap
-------
friction slows me down
when i want to rub against
your legs while you stand
-------
i've taught dad that things
that i knock off of the shelf
fall at the same rate
-------
i made dad a smart
man showing him science does
not apply to cats
:)
My brother's theory of cat gravity, as developed with the help of Pippin, Lucas and Trillian:
Cats control gravi-
ty, that's why the light lap-cat
Gets so hard to move
Cats get heavier
With sleep - a 9-pounder can
Weigh 50 mid-nap
This is why three cats
On one large human can weigh
Too much to move off
Cat gravity can
Account for more late days than
Power outages.
the science of cats
cannot be explained-logic
goes out the window
-------
a sleeping cat does
increase in weight the longer
the cat nap goes on
-------
cat anatomy
is another mystery
to all cat owners
-------
the vertebra in
a cat's spine softens as you
try to pick them up
-------
should i twist my neck
like my cat does while i sleep
i'd need some aspirin
Karen and Richard I love you both -you're getting better with each series.
Just shortly:
Filou's lament
i cannot sleep while
fireworks are going on around
the earth -new year's eve
A happy new year especially to the haiku gang!
eddie I envy youQuote:

californian salmon is
the best in the world
mom loves grilled salmon
in vivolo's chowderhouse
in pacific grove
i had some irish
salmon these days and caviar
i must admit though
yes
happy new year to everyone!
and thanks for the mental exercise...i find myself counting
5-7-5 to myself all day long!
(p.s. filou, you have raised the stakes......eddie
wants to know about caviar now......)
Happy new haiku
Oh yes, and good New Year, too!
Two thousand and three!
the physical law
even cats fulfil is the
law of entropy
more time more heat that
is the law now remember
your cat on your lap
more time more chaos
that is the law now think of
cat toys in your room
more time leads to more
uniformity like the
fur layer in bed
how could i forget
the most important law that
cats follow- chaos!
can quantum physics
explain the thermal output
of a sleeping cat?
-------
I asked my kitty
and he stated quite freely,
"thermodynamics!"
-------
(shroedinger was not
a real nice guy he put his
cat in a steel box!)
the law of chaos:
similar causes have no
similar results
cats and toys follow
the chaos law- cats and mice
classical physics:
similar causes
have similar results: when
there's a mouse: chaos
(BTW: for doing haiku i need all fingers of my left hand and thumb and first finger of my right. are there higher beings who can do it without fingers? do other ethnic groups use other fingers?)
the higher beings
that can 'do' haiku on one
'hand' are in your home!
i once knew a cat
who could count to seven on
his front-left-side foot
with five on the right
i pondered this sight until
i figured it out
this cat could count up
to twelve and never have to
look at his back paws!
ok says filou
back to the roots i count in
binary system
one mango one slice
of salmon another one
and then a mango
filou, binary
diets sound wonderful when
you describe your meals:)
Pippin says
Binary, heck! Just
One baby, or one black pup
Makes us three cats hide
Life was great back when
We three grand felines ruled our
Two simple humans
They brought home that dog
Stupid thing thinks we are friends
Doesn't know it's place
Okay, I admit
Sometimes I will condescend
And play with it. (Shhh!)
oh no, the 'cat's' out
of the bag, interspecies
friends, who would have thought?
wet and white outside
white rain or colourless i
don't go out today
my warm places and
filou's are all for me why
can't i double myself
mom on the sofa
her nose in paper bundles
look i can help you
only filou hunts
the red rope older than me
he's still so silly
the cold is just one
more reason to stay indoors
and sleep on a lap
my uncle michael
smoked some salmon just for me
i gave him a kiss
--------
i hope that the spring
season comes soon for my friend's
that live where there's snow
--------
my dad better not
buy that stupid lap top-his
lap belongs to me.:(
-------
i spent the day in
front of the door watching the
birds make fun of me.
--------
my favorite part
of the day is when the sun
heats up the floor tiles
i lay in the sun
dreaming and flipping my tail
up, down, back and forth
---------
my dad reads steinbeck-
of mice and men-i looked in
side-no mice pictures
dr seuss' cat
in the hat- plenty of cat
pictures in that one!
----------
the cat of this day
is called doppler. do not call
a cat schroedinger
after all i know
feynman should be a better
name for any cat
no, schroedinger is
not a good name for a cat!
name tag has no room
----------
a smart cat would change
his name to boots, whiskers or
here kitty, kitty!
why bother with a
hot water bottle when you
can have a warm cat?
i am the boss of
the house, dad foolishly thinks
he runs the household
-------
everyday he
rushes off to 'work' i miss
him while he is gone
-------
he has explained to
me that "if there is no work
the house does not eat"
-------
i don't care about
the house eating, wait a sec!
when does a house eat?
-------
once a week he says
"no work for two days!" NO WORK!
the house will not eat!
-------
oh no, i must wake
him up, NO WORK, NO EATING!
how can i wake him?
-------
i climb on the shelf
and knock his radio, books
on top of his head
-------
"not today! it's the
weekend!!!"- (what is a 'weekend'?)
i help him wake up.
------
he doesn't go to
work he stays home we eat, play,
sleep and watch t.v.
--------
no work for two days
but we still had fun and we
ate very well too!
-------
my dad is silly
i have been watching the house-
it still does not eat!
insomnia keeps
me awake at night, the cure?
a purring kitty
-------
no radio show
jumping sheep or noise machine
can help me at night
-------
paws on the bed, a
face full of whiskers and the
soft purring kitty
-------
the warm fur ball curls
up beside me-i place my
hand on his belly
-------
the rumbling in his
chest begins, and soon we both
drift off, into sleep.
Nothing is as warm
As a purring, soft, sleepy,
Comfort-giving cat.
Nothing weighs as much
As a sleeping lap-cat when
You want to get up
But ...
No sound is as soft
As a content bunny's purr
More secret than cats'
