garden bench
an old black cat
waits patiently
Jeanie Axton
Gizmo is 22 years old. We have a blanket on the garden bench seat he sits on and waits patiently for any one to open the door for him to come in. I didn’t try getting him to pose for a photo on the bench as we all know you can’t tell a cat what to do.

Maybe you’d like an echidna haiku. I’ve forgotten what the topic of the week is. Virginia Road-side grass heads Nodding mark the path Echidna lumbers on oblivious.

Lovely. That is a great picture – a prompt in itself. Poems about shadows.
