Carpe Diem prompt today is cats in love Neko no Koi (cats in love). And I come to think about a wording in Swedish March cat, meaning the loud tomcats that are fighting under the full moon in March. The result of cats in love has been masterly portrayed by Utagawa Kuniyoshi
feline song
love in month of March

~~
in full moonshine
tomcats battle noisily
she waits in patience

Okay. Cats in love. What a good job you’ve done with an unusual prompt. I like that she waits patiently while the guys fight it out. 😉
😉 smart girl
beautiful take of the haiku
Oh and those cats can be very noisy! Your poems do justice to the print you chose!
Excellent and the illustration is perfectly matched!
Why is it that guys always fight?
Cruel Claw and Tooth
acute testosterone toxemia.
Well done.
The second is magnificent.
Cheers!

Agree with JazzBumpa … the second haiku was really well written and tied into the theme. Thanks for sharing.
I also love the second..very well done.
CAt song always brings bagpipes to my mind…not a good sound 🙂
🙂 She always is the patient one I believe. I like them both!
aloha Brudberg – looks like these cats have a lot of potential for haiku. i like that tomcats in moonlight image. aloha.
In the United States, “moonshine” also refers to a potent, illegal liquor. I’ll let you savor that image, along with the cats!
Cat in Love
I know, and tomcats on moonshine sounds very funny
Just as it is … cats in love are so noisy, sometimes they’re sounding liking crying babies. Great woodblock.
hehe watching two cats fight is fascinating! ’til it becomes annoying.. the sounds the make.. haha
Should you ever come across a book called ‘Particularly Cats & Rufus the Survivor’ by Doris Lessing, I urge you to read it. The female cats in there behaved very differently!
the first had me thinking ‘we sure don’t need more cats’…and I like cats, there are just too many homeless and feral….the second – wonderful imagery
