Cat-Bowling Senryu

missbstories:

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.
