A patient kitten
waiting next to his feed bowl
has reason for hope
confirmed by experience,
love’s presence felt in absence.

This is perhaps not a traditional approach to a tanka poem, but these are the thoughts that came to mind as I contemplated ‘hope’ and ‘wait’ for Silver’s Weekly Tanka Challenge #3.

Our cats are hanging out near their bowls a couple of hours ahead of mealtime. They would eat all day if they had the opportunity (slight exaggeration)

I wish I could feed my cats more often but that would make them unhealthy (overweight) Glad you enjoyed the image 🙂

Obviously I meant *kitten (damn auto-correct!). I feel the same about my 5 lb. Pomeranian who happens to think he’s a kitten. Ha, ha!
