Premium MemberThe Dear Three

Oh, how I love
the dear three
I can’t get
enough of!
Any day -
not one pet
could there be
as sweet as they.

Each day they’re here when life gets hard.
My pup so cute and small;
one cat with yellow eyes
with great pride I regard.
One cat, curled-eared and white,
is clever, I surmise.
Those three – I love them all.
They are my comfort and delight.

(Each stanza has a rhyme scheme of A/B/C/A/D/C/B/D)

Premium MemberVivi the Angel

As Autumn draws near
A young angel will take flight
Guiding lost kittens

Premium MemberDangerous Desert Rose

gorgeous desert rose
issuing poisonous sap 
a sweet succulent 

I love you so much
adoring your viciousness
danger to children

like a blowfish
you could harm my pets also
I wave goodbye now

As a primate it can endure harsh winters in Asia which explains my use of artic and icecap in the overall haiku sequence.
