For whatever reason, seeing a black cat in the snow makes me sad.

Black cat in the snow
Sitting there so all alone
Breaks my little heart

    You are so compassionate. That’s why everyone loves you. He’s alright. He’s just doing his business.

    I wonder why it upsets you. He is probably perfectly happy. I had a cat who loved playing and rolling over in the snow. Nice work.

    You know the image of the black cat in the snow does make me feel sad as well. It’s almost as if this cat is out of place, in which so little of the color black is being bombarded by so much of the color white. In a way, this has the same effect as the black sheep in a group of white sheep. The black sheep is always going to stand out, be noticed. Just my thoughts I guess. Great work!! :)

    Hi, Lady Sunshine.

    This is a neat little haiku, good job!! It almost works perfectly. :) I like the contrast black to white with snow and cat.

    Thanks for sharing.

    For me that is rare! You expressed your sadness well.

  • Shirley Shuler on Jan 28, 2010

    Hi Lady Sunshine, I have had that same feeling, you expressed your feelings of sadness so well in so few words, but then again, you always do.
