Cat-Bowling Senryu
As promised last week … some of the best senryu on cat bowling, straight from the pens of eleven-year-olds.
We have the literal approach:
Chasing a laser
Crashing into a tower
All of the cups fall
The sympathetic approach:
Try’s to follow it
Thinking its all to much fun
Tell the end when, CRASH
The existential crisis approach:
Lifeless cats crashing:
They crash and turn into cups
When laser strikes them.
Two who of the Cute Overload camp:
Skittish, slippery
Kitten and cats with cans all
Skattered around. Aw.
Cats zoom into cups
Knocking them over running
They are very cute
An onomatopoeia adept:
Chasing the laser,
The cat whizzes towards the cans
CRASH! Tumble, scamper
And the skeptic:
Who would even think
Of this stupid laser game
Cups stacked, cats hit, crash!
I know, I know. Best poets ever. Accolades all around.
