Alley Cats

Moon croon's gray mumbles Fevered cats flash and tumble Blessed sleep crumbles ________ NOTES: Rhyming haiku is like blending cultures. The origin of the form carries a particular religious or spiritual component which most American poems I've read seem ignorant of. Asking Google® to "hold-forth" on the subject retrieves the following: "Haiku is not just an art form, but a spiritual discipline, like yoga or Zen Buddhist meditation. In its highest realization, haiku is a poem of extraordinary aesthetic and spiritual beauty that captures a profound and balanced moment of insight, resolution and order." Dear reader: I hope I've ruined it for you. Yours truly; Lingua Looms
