BLOG HOPPING TODAY WITH
Writers' Pantry #42: Autumnal
AND
pandemic lockdown
the cats deny themselves
social distancing
not for the pigeons
on the high voltage wires
still close cooing
cumulus clouds too
continue bunching anyway
on azure mornings
new normal days
the humans deny themselves
age-old normal hugs

These poems are really quite a treat Gillena.
The goldfish bowl haiku is wonderful, Gillena, with the contrast of the smooth stones and the movement of water and fish. I also like the image of cats denying themselves social distancing.
Two wonderful poems - I loved the goldfish!
Ho delightful, your goldfish bowl. And what a wonderful post altogether.
Tsk! I mean 'how delightful'.

I love your ripples in a bowl haiku Gillena, it is gorgeous! Your take on the Muse is wonderful. Cats always do thave a mind of their own. It is always a pleasure to visit your blog!
Oh yeah, the goldfish ripples are magnificent. The cats imagery is cool, but not as much so as the fish..
Have a great day, GC~
That goldfish is playful, what a cute haiku! Thanks for the smiles. Both delightful creations.

The goldfish was like a meditation in a poem. Also, the cat poem traced the current separation aches well.

You took an interesting direction with this. We humans need to keep our distance, but not the cats. :)

Excellent poems, Gillena! Love the fish, and the cats (who don't need to practice social distancing, because they already do it!

Cats live to defy the rules :) goldfish are amazing ... they will grow according to their environment. Stay small in a bowl, large in a pond. :)
