Today’s poem is a haiku that is in my new book, The Anonymity of Waiting, and in my chapbook, Cat Show. I’ve had haiku on my mind since I got two volumes of haiku for Christmas. Haiku is a form I’ve grown to love because of its use of sparse, evocative language. Reading more haiku seems a good way to invest more in these OG micro-poems.
Cat’s Game
Going in circles
and criss-crossing the tile floor,
cats tic on tac toes.
