Confrontation

Close up photo of a brown hen staring into the camera.

Bird in my backyard,
staring deep into my eyes,
seeks morsel of truth.

Silent voices

photo of a black cat with its paw lifted up in the air

Cats can speak volumes;
the lift of a single paw:
worship me human.

Peace

Photo of a white cat sleeping on the floor sideways, comfortably, his paws raised in mid air.

Every long day ends;
peace comes in various forms—
even as a cat.

Demands

Photo of a one-eyed Labrador, sitting on the floor, her head turned and looking at the camera.

One-eyed Labrador
Aye! Give me some food, human—
pirate’s life for me.

Waiting for weekends

photo of a golden retreiver lying on the floor, looking sideways

Sprawled out on the floor,
gazing at the sky, in love,
Thursday afternoons.
