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
