Neighbours cat is thin, gaunt in fact.
He moves stiffly through his silent world
intent on getting to his next comfortable spot
wearing a ‘Please don’t feed me’ collar
to deter philanthropists, like me
who are tempted to overlook his kidney problems.
I dread that approaching day
when he is taken for the final
vets visit.
Please Fate, let him have at least
this one last, contented summer
a fine feline in the warm sun

Almost forever

An old friend has gone

Passed on, is no more, snuffed it

His humour, great loss

Haiku – loss

Friend disappearing
Becoming a fading dream
No return with spring

Haiku – fear

So early this year
Two friends in mortal peril
Hearts aching with fear
