cat braves the cold,
light of the milky way
catches a mouse
~
glares with spite
silhouette beneath the stars
the owl hoots

light of the stars (haiku)

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com View all posts by Tournesol

Everything must eat, but I do pity the mouse. After all, she was simply out for a Milky Way stroll when the cat pounced!

Yes, poor mousy but perhaps that was her karma and she’ll come back as an owl:)

A delightful story. I’ve had a few in my garage… but not in the house.
I tell my garden snakes to earn their keep 🙂
And no cats to enjoy the chase.
