HAIKU TO BLUE

kay

Black cat name of Blue
Lizard on the window glass
Lizard watching Blue

Blue is nonchalant
Looks at lizard on the glass
Stretches, stares some more

Slowly Blue gets up
Does not know the glass is there
Suddenly he leaps

Lizard scurries off
Blue says “Knew it all along,
Was not fooled by glass!”

Dignity intact
Blue struts, tail in the air,
Hunter Blue, the cat.

Mellow Blue, worn out,
Stretched out on my favorite chair
Yellow eyes are shut

Dreaming Blue, he purrs,
Dreams the lizard’s in his grasp,
Lays it at our feet.
