Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
Thursday is poetry day at Two Spoiled Cats, and I try to play along whenever I can. Teddy and Angel Sammy provide an inspiration photo as a jumping off place, Here’s this week’s photo followed by my poem, which this week is only a haiku. I did not need any additional words to convey what I wanted to say.

Anybody home?
I’m feeling rather peckish.
Do you have some snacks?

Charlee: “Congratulations on all the Certificates of Excellence, that is … well … excellent!”
Oona: “No bear had best try taking Oona’s snacks or Oona will have to demonstrate her ninja skills.”
Chaplin: “But you are hardly interested in snacks at all.”
Oona: “That does not mean Oona will allow a bear to take them! OR YOU EITHER CHAPLIN.”
Congratulations on the Cat Writer’s Association awards!
I’m glad the surgery is scheduled and your poem is right on the money. There isn’t a bear anywhere who isn’t a little peckish right about now.
