| Posted by Alex Smyth on 12/12/03 at 05:43 AM Now that is a moment! Cats HATE to be suprized, this makes me laugh, and go hunting for my cat... |
| Posted by Anne Engelen on 12/12/03 at 06:18 AM ...now look what this cat drags in...cute one!! |
| Posted by Agnes Eva on 12/12/03 at 04:53 PM i love the double meaning of this (playing on the meanings of "chance" with a traditionally bad luck black cat), and the serendipitous encounter you've brought forth. an excellent haiku moment |
| Posted by Nadia Gilbert Kent on 12/12/03 at 11:35 PM I echo Aiko's statement. Every black cat I've known has been unbearably awesome. |
| Posted by Michele Schottelkorb on 12/13/03 at 12:44 AM i love this... awesome haiku! |

| Posted by Kate Demeree on 12/13/03 at 02:54 AM *smiling ear to ear*.. at your good fortune... (I concider black cats very good luck) both in the meeting and the haiku emerging! |
| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 12/13/03 at 04:35 AM Is there a hint of superstition in this haiku? Black cat and chance in the same short poem. Hmmm ;) |
| Posted by Kristine Briese on 12/15/03 at 02:41 PM Lovely! I am owned by a black cat, and do believe any chance meeting with her would be quite brief. *grin* |
| Posted by Mara Meade on 12/15/03 at 09:48 PM Bwah hah hah! Bad luck for a black cat!!! This is great! |
| Posted by Richard Trotter on 12/17/03 at 01:55 AM sleek and atmospheric, nice haiku. |
| Posted by Ashok Sharda on 12/17/03 at 02:18 AM Well, this explains the law of accident. The active and the passive force reconciling in the reconciling force. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 12/17/03 at 02:28 AM Brings back fond memories of my own encounters with black cats, both chance and otherwise...one of which was a family pet for years when I was a boy. Thanks for that old chum! |
| Posted by Don Coffman on 12/30/03 at 07:41 AM Every so often a new cat will show up on my porch taking refuge, in their usual cycle of territorial switcheroo. As for the haiku, excellent stuff to spark so many thoughts in readers. |
| Posted by Melissa Arel on 07/26/04 at 01:47 PM WoW.. i really like this.. i should write more haikus and hopefully they will be as excellent as yours! :) |
| Posted by Paul Marino on 02/26/05 at 07:09 PM This has such a great haiku moment. |
| Posted by Paul Marino on 07/05/06 at 09:34 PM it's funny, bc i was just thinking of this haiku, as i have now been drawn back into writing haiku and really want to improve, and remembered this haiku as the best one i've read on pathetic. |
