    ahhhh yes, those cats will lie on their nice warm pillow and hum. The cold finally arrived this week. Am not feeling any oats, I hate to work in the cold. But I have enjoyed letting the two cats sleep inside this week. Got to run. Spray painting.

    this one made me smile. My cat, Chester, is an indoor/outdoor cat, but he don't stay out very long when it's this cold outside. Hugs, Catie :)

    Andie it wouldn't be wrong to say [warm cat on my lap] except that it is unnecessary, you put the cat where you as the reader wanted it anyway and the bulk of a haiku is to be in the readers mind not the poet's pen

    Debs, I like this. But would it be so wrong to say "warm cat on my lap" that would sound so inviting to me!

    Nice little haiku here, Debbie. Regarding my Carpe Diem poem, which was written as an example to the contest, LEKKER.... Please read my blog by the same name (which I am referring to in the contest rules) and you should get my drift. LEKKER is a word which transcends language barriers....lol... Kapish? Hope you have a great week. Love, Su
