10011 - A Dad Joke is Apparent

Dad tells me dad jokes
I laugh, so he tells me more.
This is pun-ishment.

#CatsOfBluesky #poetry #dadjokes
Frank, an orange tabby, lays on the top shelf of his blue cat tree and looks like he's laughing at a joke.

10010 - 2 out of 3 ain't bad

In golden shadow,
My clowder - they grip my heart.
Wait. Where is Chessie?

#CatsOfBluesky #poetry
Puddles, a black cat, lays on his side in the foreground, while Frank, an orange tabby, lies in a sunbeam in the background. The third member of the clowder is nowhere to be seen.

10001 - Where Did He Go?

Frank has disappeared.
Where, oh where, could he have gone?
I miss him so much.

#CatsOfBluesky #poetry
Frank, and orange tabby, peeks from beneath a set of blinds that he is partially hidden behind. He's not really hidden at all, nor is he being particularly sneaky, but his look brings to mind the look of a mischievous child hiding from a parent.

01110 - No Gnus is Good Gnus

From atop his perch
Frank cosplays as Mufasa -
It's good to be king.

#CatsOfBluesky #poetry
Frank, an orange tabby, lays on the uppermost platform of a six-foot tall cat tree. His paws are resting over the front edge as he looks down over everything.

01101 - Fields of Poppies

Dad says that today,
Is the day that we thank vets -
So thanks for my shots.

#CatsOfBluesky #poetry

(as a kid, I genuinely thought that it was Veterinarians Day. Now that I'm a vet myself, I still like to occasionally think that as deflection)
A long perspective shot of Frank, an orange tabby, from the tail as he is lying down and looking back at the camera as he and dad enjoy a lazy morning

01100 - Cat Origami

Frank helps with laundry.
He tries to fold the t-shirts.
Frank, we hang those up.

#CatsOfBluesky #poetry
Frank, an orange tabby, is attempting to fold a black T-shirt on a small table. And by fold, we mean that he has crumpled it up and is fighting with it.

Time to make donuts,
Dad says - Frank has a question.
Um, what are donuts?

#Winchells
Frank, an orange tabby, is waking up from being underneath a blue patchwork blanket with an inquisitive look as he looks at something out of frame to the right.

Puddles' Senryu Interlude

"Not Today, Dad"

Puddles has decreed
Today is a lazy day.
Dad will not quibble.

#CatsOfBluesky #poetry #Caturday
Puddles, a black cat, lays on the floor, slightly lifting his head with a weary look in his eyes. Puddles has placed his head back on the floor and looks off into the distance, as today has already been exhausting.

Obviously, it's for me -
Stop eating it Dad.

Frank is a fluid
Able to fill what he's in
Like his father's heart.

00110 - Boundaries

You can pick your cat
You can pick your nose. But dad...
Don't pick your cats nose.

#CatsOfBluesky #poetry

(Frank sometimes gets a little crusty booger by his nose and a damp towel helps. He always seems so offended afterwards.)
A medium close up spot of Frank, an orange tabby, who is being held by his dad. Frank has a semi-indignant look on his face, as he has just had his nose cleaned of stray boogers.

Dad, what goes on here
When you're not home, is nunya.
Like, nunya business.

#CatsOfBluesky #poetry
Chessie, a torby cat, and Frank, an orange tabby, are relaxing in an oversized cat bed head to tail, with Frank looking at the camera as if to say, there's nothing going on here.

00011 - A Moment of Zen?

Frank has a brief thought -
an existential crisis.
...what if I'm the pet...

#CatsOfBluesky #poetry

*a comment made dad realize that these aren't really Haiku because they're not very serious or nature-focused, but instead are Senryu.

Take the hint, Father.

She waits patiently,
Her yawn though, it yells at me.
