Thank you Ayaz Daryl Nielsen for publishing my haiku:feline agenda  make America  purr again
~~~~~~~~~~~
snowflakes  conceptual art  on my sleeves
~~~~~~~~~~~
the Persian cat  matches the weather  camouflage in white
~~~~~~~~~~~
Valentine’s Day  I’d rather kiss your cat  than you
~~~~~~~~~~~
Valentine’s  Day  cat leaves heart-shaped poop inside your slippers
~~~~~~~~~~~
Valentine’s Day  kitty kisses smell  like tuna
~~~~~~~~~~~
Valentine’s Day  cat ladies marry  their fur babies
