Marvelous Monday Haiku debut with Jimmy
Last updated on March 5th, 2018 at 12:54 am
Happy Monday all! I’m Jimmy the polydactyl cat and I’d like to introduce you to our new Weekly Chirp called Marvelous Monday Haiku. Why Monday? Well, Monday is the day the Lady Cat finds incredibly hard to ease into, especially after spending the weekend with us Chirpy Cats. So a bunch of us have decided that we will be writing some inspiring and uplifting haiku to help her get going and uplift her spirits, in addition to her morning coffee. And what’s so ‘marvelous’ about Monday? Well, nothing really, after all, she has to go back to work and leave us. See, we could have named it Melancholic Monday or Mediocre Monday, and while it might be true, that would be defeating the whole purpose. Besides, that’s just plain depressing. So, why haiku? Well, if cats could speak, we would pretty much communicate in haiku, no beating around the bush: “My bowl is empty, Feed me now my human slave, Next time be quicker” you get my drift. Haiku is a very short form of Japanese poetry which follows the pattern 5-7-5, meaning the first line contains five syllables, second line, 7 and the last line has five.
I’m kicking off with just a gallery of four photos for my haiku debut. See below and let’s hope that this little corner will start her day on the right footing and hopefully, brighten yours too.
Do you like Mondays? What do you do to get going in the mornings? Let’s hear it from the kitties and their humans in the comments below.
Love your haiku, Jimmy!
Thank you Kittycaperz, I want to spread the cheer 🙂
Great haiku, I agree that is what cats would write.
Heh heh thanks! ??
What great haikus, Jimmy! Y’know, we don’t mind Mondays anymore…now that the mom is home with us all the time.
That’s just great you have your mom at home, lucky kitties! At least our Big Man Cat works from home and we get to supervise him all day long, but the Big Lady Cat has to go out to work ?
I love haiku! I’ve written a few but should get into it more. Pawsome idea 🙂
Thank you, and yes, you should! ?
Pawesome Haiku. Mommy is always slow on Mondays so we don’t do much!
Thank you, glad you like! ?
lovely Haiku! There was a dog blogger who used to do them all of the time, she hasn’t blogged in quite some time and I have missed them so nice to see someone else doing them
Oh really that’s so cool. I had started writing haiku on our Instagram and Twitter account and it just made sense to find a little corner for it here on the site too ☺️ ?
Totally cheery! 🙂
Glad you like it!
I do not like Monday because sometimes I will be very lazy after the weekend and not ready for new working week. But my cat is definitely does not care about what is Monday.
That’s a cat’s life, I have cat envy ? I wish, like my cats, Monday did not matter to me!
Great haiku, Jimmy. Your big cat lady must be surprised reading this. I think you should consider being a haiku poet as soon as possible.
Thank you for dropping by, I’m glad my haiku resonated with you. Love from Jimmy Fancy Feet.
