daybreak nudge (haiku)

pre dawn call
stares at the human
sleeping

sleeping
jabs one front paw
ever gently

ever gently
nudges for a cuddle
to be stroked

to be stroked
love’s laboured gest
purrs of delight

purrs of delight
returns to heavenly bliss
on makeshift bed

killing for sport (tanka – haiku)

******

Spiders and frogs
threaten lives of flies buzzing
killing them dead
but only if hungry,
never killing for sport

killing for sport
cruel deeds of a species
such cruel human games
