Catterina
A Haiku dedicated to every cat that belongs to the girl in waiting
She waits for a Prince,
but the gargoyles know more
than he ever will.

Book Review: "American Poetry: A Very Short Introduction" by David Caplan
Help me, I'm stuck in the Very Short Introduction series and I can't get out! No really, this is becoming the same problem I had a few years ago when I got my limbs caught in the British Library Crime Classics series and ended up reading almost 100 of those books in perhaps a few months. Now, I've managed to find one on American Poetry, I have to say it is probably one of my favourites so far. I mean The Beats is good, but American Poetry has Phillis Wheatley and Emily Dickinson so it is, by default, better. The writer doesn't only display his knowledge of American Poetic History, he also provides some historical accounts of the people who wrote them, commenting on where they fit into the greater American landscape.

Wonderful haiku. Beautiful Catterina
Awww, hugs for Catterina! 🥰🥰🥰 Loved your Haiku!
The one who is loved but never desired. The one who is appreciated but never wanted. The one upon whom we rely but for whom we never wait. The one who knows nothing but longing, but is never longed for. I feel this, Natasha, always living in the shadow, waiting for someone to notice the diamond in the rough. Of course, as one of those who doesn't even qualify as a hunk of pyrite....
Very well written!! <3
Aww this is sweet 🥰
