HAIKU is
a Japanese art form that took centuries to develop and perfect. It only took minutes
for Gert and Eddie to mangle it. The "classic" verse is based on an extremely
simple formula of three lines:
Line 1 - 5 syllables / Line 2 - 7 syllables / Line 3 - 5 syllables.
A true HAIKU develops a single mood or emotion and centers on a nature theme or imagery.
Since cats are "a natural", their HAIKU meets this requirement easily.
HAIKUs are ideal for cats. Being short, they don't interfere with nap time.
Enjoy these lovely verses penned by Gert and Eddie!
