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

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.

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

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. :)
