Haiku #3

Once again, we have a trio of Cowboy Haiku poems. To refresh your memory; the Haiku form consists of 3 non-rhyming lines with precise syllable structure. I think the best thing about writing (and reading) Haiku poetry is that it is very short.

“Haiku-Coo”
Tic, Toc, Grandma’s clock
Anticipation building
Will the bird return?

(This is for those of you who love cats or who consider them the other white meat.)
“Haiku-Poo”
Koo, the obstinate,
protesting the litter box
leaves unwanted gifts.

“Hai-Cue”
Long, tapered striker
Pulled back, it pauses, then thrusts
Balls run for cover.
