Judy, type in Maureen Lefanue. I think that is it. My previous cat was the best I ever had. We never let her go outside. She lived 18 years. They say a purely indoors cat will live long. three times longer than outside cat. If we had caught her cancer earlier, she may have been alive even today four years later!!!

Many a predator ambushes it's prey, and efficiently as well. Fine Haiku Judy :)

Haiku has become quite popular as has Senryu. They are both the same except Haiku has a Nature theme and Senryu has a humanities theme. Syllable count is 5,7,5 . I had one too many syllables in the last line on this one. Have fun with it and thanks so much for stopping by. God Bless, JB

Thanks so much my friend. Hope I didn't step on any toes by adding the description of form. I'm not well versed on forms and usually just write what sounds good to me. God Bless, JB
