Daisy and Butterscotch are the best listeners. They like to sit beside me on the sofa and watch me write on my laptop. They're very patient as I read each new rewrite of my poems. They especially like the poems about them. Here's a tanka I wrote about Butterscotch.
my cat sits watching
waiting for me to come home
I open the door
to the sound of his purring—
unconditional love
Butterscotch is almost ten years old, but he still runs to the door every time I come home. I know he's happy to see me.
Hi! I like tankas. I like a good Senryu, too!

It won't let me comment on your previous post (not sure why), but thanks for the kind words about my class!
ReplyDeleteLove your cat poem. I miss having a cat (both my husband and I are allergic...)
