Caren Krutsinger Poet Haibun

Feline Snatches Robin

Shark waits in the bushes, for his opportunity. I am watching the scene in horror, because I feed these birds. There are many robins, sparrows, wrens, cardinals and my bluejay. They all trust me.  I try to get out there in time to scare the cat away from his prime spot, but alas, I am too late. He has captured an unsuspecting baby bird. Trots off with his prey into the forest while the other birds continue to feed, unaware they are now in Shark’s own secret happy hunting ground. 


                                        cat takes flying leap
                                   little brown robin escapes
                                         feline grab in air

I have yet to find a mess in the yard. A bit bizarre yes, but she thinks she's human. Shark does cater to his wild side.
