Is it?

by Delphine Lecompte

Is it so wrong to daydream
about writing corny haiku
with a pregnant cat on my lap?
Noone ever claimed it was
but i sense your disapproval.

The budgie drops
like a ripe pear
on the bottom of the cage
it screeches for height or food.

It takes off again
i force my hand inside the cage
the seeds tickle my palm
and the budgie collides with its mirror terrified.
