Small Spaces

The cat smells danger.
He crawls into a small space.
Danger smells the cat.

Incredibly clever haiku that springs a neat twist of fate on the reader. Well delineated scene depiction in each line Howard

A wonderful, so well crafted Haiku dear Hilda. I love your choice of clever words and the title too. You can so easily visualise the cat hiding away. Enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you. :):)

Thank you for enjoying the haiku. Cats are born with instincts that protect them. My own cat is very cautious.
