My Haiku: WHITE CHEST

1.
In moon’s silver glow,
white chest bobbing in the dark,
Whiskers catch whispers.

2.
Mister Pops prowls near,
white chest bobbing in the dark,
Night’s king takes his throne.

3.
Softly tread; soft paws,
white chest bobbing in the dark,
Guardian of dreams.

I took the above photo on the night of 14 December, and if you look a little closer… you’ll see Jupiter at the bottom left. The full(moon) story is here.

Updated 22 December 2024: I edited ‘bouncing’ to ‘bobbing’—the word finally came to me after a day of stewing over the one that had eluded me.
