secondhand haiku: a day in the life of Holly the cat




This latest secondhand haiku comes from Holly the cat (graciously transcribed by Susan, her loyal human subject). To anyone who’s ever lived with a feline, I believe this piece is self-explanatory. (A photo of the author can be seen to the right)

For those keeping score, we’ve now received contributions from an almost-four-year-old human and a cat. If you haven’t yet submitted your own haiku or short poem to the secondhand series, really, what more excuse do you need?
