Dinner On the Wall




begone spider now
creeping dark teeny shadow
into my bed do not fall

cat's eyes open wide
she wants you to be dinner
yum now she shan't be thinner


Choka  poetry is 5,7,7. 5,7,7.

My skin is crawling because of the amount of spiders and bugs I have seen in this house this summer! I wish my cat could come into the house but I have too many allergies, so he is outside eating everything out there. And I am in here with the spiders. Thanks friend.

Poetry is poetry of any fact, cat watching, spider crawling, alligator watching prey, hunter preparing the aim ... Haiku is to describe nature, senryu is joke, politics, expertises ... your writing is excellent for sure... salute alkas

Greetings, Alkas! What a supportive compliment from you, Alkas! Thank you for your explanation of the various types. My only Senryu to date is The Malevolent Man. I was pleased with that write. Panagiota

Oh! I really like this one. It's so imaginative, cute, and real---all at the same time. Delightful, Panagiota. Best wishes, Gershon

What a fun write it was for me. Love this form. Cannot do haikus and the other "k.u..poetry" Worse Gershon, I don't understand them. It's like the sound of one hand clapping. I understand English haiku not Japanese Haiku. The few I wrote were accidents..the Choka works.))) Panagiota
