winter haiku d’hiver – the drowsy gopher = la marmotte somnolente

winter haiku d'hiver – the drowsy gopher = la marmotte somnolente




the drowsy gopher
peers at his shadow –
off to beddie bye 

la marmotte somnolente
voit sa silhouette –
zut ! il faut cuver

senryu – in her own dreams = elle rêve, endormie

senryu – in her own dreams  = elle rêve, endormie

in her own dreams
is Shadow a shadow
of herself?... as if! 



elle rêve, endormie ...
Shadow est-elle une ombre
d’elle-même. Mais non !

My other 2 cats, Daisy and Shadow, both indoor cats:

Here we have photos of my other two cats, Daisy and Shadow, both indoor cats. Daisy, who is a tortoiseshell, is the same age as Argentée (15), while Shadow is definitely the junior in the family (age 8). All of my cats are females. Daisy sleeps with me all the time, while Shadow always sits on the sofa in my living room. You can see why I call Shadow by her name. She is difficult to see in low light. So I have to watch where I step! To each her own. I am sure you will love them as much as I do.

Here you see Shadow, my long-haired tabby, age 5, our mascot on Linear B, Knossos and Mycenae, keeping TABs (get it?) on my keyboard, to safeguard our posts and the security of our site. You can hit the TAB key to see more of her. Just kidding.
