Tiny Paws Poetry: The Inside-Out Ear Collection

January 30, 2025 by Tyson Leave a Comment

🐾 This collection is part of the Injured Dignity series 🐾

Haiku by Tyson the Cat

Distress Signal
Folded like a leaf.
No one notices but me.
And yet—I suffer.

Why Must It Happen?
One wrong roll and poof.
My ear becomes origami.
This is not noble.

Attempted Grooming
I lick. It flops back.
I lick harder. Still it mocks.
Fur is betrayal.

You’re Laughing? Really?
You take pictures first.
I am wounded, not a meme.
You shall pay in toes.
