In this Senyru, the number of dots indicate the length of time the cat watches the mouse hole -
each dot = 10 minutes. I will attempt a comment within the week!

First Revision


Senile cat watches
those dark,alluring mouseholes...
... meanwhile, mice eat cheese

Hey Leo,

Bring it back and re-post it. To get the 5-7-5 form, all you need to do is switch the first and second line and get rid of one syl in what now is the first line. Suggestion:

Mice rob cheese from traps
Senile cat sleeps on the job
News at eleven

This is probably considered to be a Senryu but you can call it a Haiku if you want to. It is yours!

I consider this to be very amusing for I have 9 cats, 3 of which are probably becoming senile and I also have a number of mice (mainly field mice because I live in the woods) that do what they please around those three. I don't set traps anymore. The other 6 cats are very proficient and will wipe that smug look off a mouses face in a millisecond.

Please come back.

Larry

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
