Orange cat, blue birds –
A drama of colors and
Fur and feathers,
Plays out daily. Sam Cat longs
To escape and wreak havoc.
Captured behind glass,
The Cat is a comedic
Display for the birds.
They tweet, hop about and tease.
How irksome! His whiskers twitch.
Orange Cat, Blue Birds – not a tanka

I have to laugh. Sometimes he forgets about the glassand bhmps his nose. The birds are more dangefous tnan tbe cat, in this case.

Got cabin fever Sam Cat? A cartoon reel spools in my mind when I read this. Poor kitty. Love the imagery. ❤ ❤

Poor guy bumped his nose twice against the glass, forgetting it was there. Sassy little wren just flicked its tail at him.

Boys will be boys, and wrens will flick their tails and tease.
