The timbre of a singular cat-cry. The slight scrape of a bowl on the kitchen floor. The silence of the rest of the house. The cues given by noises outside. Your nonchalance. Why are you sitting on the clean laundry, and why would you eat another bowlful if I set it down? What is your philosophy – stoic or epicurean?
At last Carl Sandburg's poem has been surpassed! by Angie Werren's outstanding haiga on tiny paws. Truly, no mean feat, that. Will share on the blog word pond. Thank you, poet.

Snowbirdpress, what a tremendous haiku gift you left. Angie Werren's comparable haiga delights and mystifies me — a contemporary classic.

Hi, Donna, Now you know why I love haiga so much It can take you to place you never dreamed could be conceivable. Thanks for your kind words.
