Welcome Home for me
His fur is soft and gentle
"Hi There! Smell my butt!"

She stalks the huge beast
It's roar strikes fear in her heart
It's name is Hoover.

Oh cruel torment
it's buzzing makes me crazy
I must feast on flies.

Oh Please let me in!
I'm miserable out here
In!!...Now let me out!

Oh Please let me out!
I want to play outside, please!
Out!!...Now let me in!

It smells like heaven
that fish taken from a can
I MUST have TUNA!

It is my mountain
The Everest of Kittens
Conquored Monitor!

I scale the human
I always find it funny
How claws make her shriek.

Hidden, poised for pounce
the bedskirt is my cover
I must...kill...ankles!

Susan; I don't know what exactly constitutes a HaiKu, but I loved your poem. It made me think of the poem where Robert Frost compares fog engulfing a city to the "creeping of little cat feet". . . . methinks; he never had a cat! I am picturing it more this way:

Kitten

You arrive, not unsilently;
To engulf my heart.
To bring the traffic of my house to a standstill;
save all but your antics. . . . .

To blind me by your devotion
And reduce my roving eye to "Zero Visibility" for any other pet.

My speech is "Thick as Pea Soup"
When asked to explain what loving you means. . . . .
