haiku – Page 6 – catsignal

haiku 565

birdfeeder sways
when woodpecker
pushes off

warm December day
she bags up
November’s leaves

chattering raccoon
answers my call
for the cat

blue night light
the color of
burning propane

cat pee on floor –
don’t ask me
how I know

all along main street
help wanted signs
at the restaurants

east of the city
smoke becomes the horizon
and the sky

closer than the stars
red running light glints
off the main rotor

cat-sitting –
one cat no longer
falls for treat trick

beneath the streetlight’s
purple gleam
the snow deepens
