Haiku Friday: Animal friends
Someone suggested that Haiku Friday should be about the leak of the Dobbs opinion and... no, just no. I can't do it.
Instead, let's haiku about the animals in our lives (or who once were). I'm pretty sure that will be a happier topic. Here, I will go first:
Chuck the cat, good guy
Knew how to avoid a fight
And best spots to nap.
Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable formula, and have some fun!

Elly
Tiny Elly, the fierce feline
Recued from the barn floor straw
Tiny still and sublime
Regent of her place
Ten larger dogs and cats quake
At her guile and grace

My sweet Taffy Anne
Beautiful and elegant
Everyone agreed.
So she enjoyed a
Drink from the toilet sometimes
She was still purr-fect.
Meow!

he of the "undignified"

They said "he never
stops purring. We cannot hear
his heart." No matter,
we knew already
that his heart would be the last
to go, even as the
terrible cancer
swiftly claimed him. Did he know
why he felt better
only in the make-
shift oxygen chamber? That
we kept him at least
less miserable
just so his person could come
home to say goodbye?

Chuck the dog, good guy.
Always spoiling for a fight.
Twelve pounds, big spirit.

Danced into our lives. She guards
the house from tigers.
