by Glenn Currier

cat rises and falls

sleeping on my ample girth

as I breathe her peace

Fine haiku here Glenn. The final line makes me wonder whether you're breathing peace to the cat or if the cat is breathing it to you! A "purr"fect give-and-take relationship for sure. Well done!

Dang...now I miss my cat. Great reflection of a wonderful atmosphere:)

Splendid imagery! My cat waxes and wanes while she sleeps on my belly, too. Great scene caught eloquently in verse. :)

Despite the rise and fall, its the rise and fall, the cause of the peace at both the ends. The association is the cause. The association is the effect with the rise and fall. This minimal can be seen from various angles.

I can hear the purring, a wonderful haiku indeed.

Ahhh, excellent work. My cats think so, too.

Very worthy to be on someone's favorites-list (how I found it). It speaks an identifiable moment with great clarity and an interesting perspective. Excellent haiku and poem in general.

Good one Bro. I see the cat and feel the peace. You must have gained weight tho if you've got an ample girth.
