Cat haiku

sitting on the grass
cat massages me
back and forth



dead thrush on the mat
a proud cat searches my eyes
for approval


evening sunlight
her nose smudges the window
admiring herself


spring gardening
his claw marks still
on the tree trunk


her kneading paws
the rhythm of my fingers
on the laptop


blackbird skips the lawn
head and paws on the gate
a bee zooms by


lazy sunday
her body purring
into mine
