Cat Haiku Contest #1

This is the first of a series of cat haiku contests that will run on LiveLikeACatDay.com and we thought this photo of Neko in a hammock would be a good way to start.  As a refresher, a haiku is a 3 line Japanese poem.  The first line has 5 syllables, second line has 7 and the third line has 5.  For a more in depth course on how to write a haiku, read this article on eHow.

Leave your haiku entry for this picture in the comments.  Best haiku wins a surprise prize.  :)

    Cat is relaxing
    As he thinks of a haiku
    Sleep now write later

    Orange cat squinty eyes
    Too big for furry hammock?
    Or is it slingshot?

    Saturday morning
    The sun warms my whiskers up
    Oh, For an hour more

  6. Sandi Says:

    Warm, I snuggle in
    Almost to sleep, my eyes close
    Aah, my whiskers droop.

  7. Craig Says:

    Cat sits in hammock
    It sags from way too much weight
    Maybe I should diet?

    You cannot see me,
    My camouflage is too good.
    I’ll pounce on your foot.
