Notes About The Poem

Written 9 May 2026 for Cat Senryu Poetry Contest of JCB Brul

My Cat Mimi


a quick leap, a pounce,
her paws catch a gentle bird
my eyes with tears flounce.

Yes, there are intelligent felines. They sit silently and observe. They respond without delay. Hopefully, she won't eat or harm the bird. To me, they seem too subdued when kept inside. Congrats on your podium win

There are such smarties among cats. They sit quiet and watchful. When the opportune time comes they spring into action. Great senryu.

Oh I hope she doesn't kill or eat the bird. My cats have never gone after birds or mice. I think they are too tame being in the house. A few times my cat's saw bird or mouse and didn't even know what to do
