“Possum”

Possum

One winter’s night /

a dish rattles; a possum /

scavenges cat food.

Photo finish Friday: “Filter”

Filter

I am but a filter: /
drink, food, clothes, home, even words /
shall pass as in fog.

Haiku to you Thursday “Raspberry”

Raspberries

Collected at dusk, /

raspberries in an old cap, /

makeshift evening food.

Longing

Sitting on a branch, /

the fat Robin of morning, /

longing for cat food.

I am a filter: /

fine drink, best food, newest things. /

Through me, these, too, shall pass.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Menu”

Menu

The cat food did not /

say, “feeds raccoon,” but one came, /

ate, and left the cat.

“Dinner and show”

Dinner and show

Snacks tasted first rate. /

Floor show played out second rate. /

Raccoon stayed anyway.

“Good eats”

Good eats

Thanks for the big eats. /

I lick my face to finish. /

Better than a bird.

Sunday silliness: “Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude”

Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude

Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude

Spent the evening in camarad.

Eating birdseed,

Fists full of greed,

Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.

Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude,

In raccoon fur they trod.

Into the night

They ate with delight,

Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.

Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.

Three raccoons in a pod.

Three peas after food,

Including suet crude.

Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.

Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude

Were too inland to find scrod.

Eventually they left.

When a boom with some heft

Shooed on Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.

Haiku and photo: “Socked feet”

Socked feet

Both full and thankful, /

Kindness has many flavors /

Carried on socked feet.
