Cats (senryu collection)

senryu collection

1) CALICO

moonlit calico

canvas of orange, black, white

purrfect lunar sight

2) GINGER

ginger blur zooms by

pursuing toys on catnip

curtains left in shreds

3) RAGDOLL

cuddle bug kitty

fluffy tail and gentle soul

chirruping ragdoll

4) BLACK 

lady of mystique

eyes are yellow harvest moons

stalks prey in shadow

5) TUXEDO 

fancy feline charm

a distinguished gentleman

meowing in my arms

Author's Note

I am bad at writing poems with strict syllable counts. Let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement or if I have made any mistakes in counting the syllables.

Purrrrrfect, and cuddling kitties. I like this little furry collection.

This is a nice poem about cats.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

I'm not qualified to judge Japanese forms as I rarely ever read or employ them but all of these verses are very endearing and sweet and they were fun to read and highly entertaining. I enjoyed the read. F.

I’m allergic alas but love them

You got the syllable count accurate. But these days Haiku and Senryu aren't held to that standard.
These are so much fun....love the charcoal one in the pic.
I am a cat person....have always had a cat since I was in seventh grade.
Have Torti now...great personality and very sociable...
I had lots of company as I was recovering from my heart surgery...and she pretty much welcomed everybody who came by.
I especially like "a distinguished gentleman" in your last one.
