Trick or Treat

Trick or Treat

I ate some sweets

Treat or Trick

Hairy Monster

Me, he would bury.

He said, "I'm not scary."

But still I was wary.

A One Act Play As a Series of Senryu

Me:
Sleeping in today
Wish my cat would let me be
It is too early

Oly:
Wake up my human
Now it is time to feed me
You must stop sleeping

Me:
Go away, Oly
I am still trying to sleep
It is Saturday

Oly:
(Purring, Kneading, Stop!
Dozing, Napping, Purring, Stop!
"Nice Kitty" Attack!)

Me:
Ouch! That was not nice
Get out of my bed right now
You are a bad cat!

Oly:
I just wanted food.
I hate Saturdays, now I'm
outside in the rain.

Peacock -- a cinquain

Peacock
Colorful, proud
Hopping, preening, strutting
Display your beautiful plumage
