alley cat
his bold stare as he slips through
the wrought iron gate

"Miaow", which really meant, "Cheer up! You have something neither of your stepsisters have and that is beauty." It was quite true. Cinderella, even dressed in rags with a dusty gray face from the cinders, was a lovely girl. While her stepsisters, no matter how splendid and elegant their clothes, were still clumsy, lumpy and ugly and always would be. [Ivy Joy's Fables and Fairy Tales]
continuing the Cinderella Syndrome or What every girl should have; well!!! at least once in her lifetime, anyways...in haiku/haibun style throughout the month of August; e-mail me or add your contributions at comments; to included in the day's post
I am liking everything about this tale, bravo Gillena :)
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful haiku!
ReplyDeleteI like your haiku. I can totally see this alley cat. Probably because they--and their hard stares--exist the world over.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'll take a stab at this Cinderella thing. Every girl should have, at least once in her life, a night of pure romance.
