Breezy day in May—
 
a feral cat takes a nap
 
in the noonday sun.

 
 
 

How pleasant to nap
 
in the middle of the day
 
while the north wind blows!

 
 

Someone tell that crow
 
to keep his noisy beak shut
 
during my spring nap!

 
 

On a warm spring day
 
a curious crow watches
 
an old dog napping.

 
 

April settles down
 
on a mountain with no name
 
as if for a nap.

 
 
 

Curled up on my bed,
 
my cat takes her final nap—
 
tonight, a hard frost.

 
 
 

In the oak tree’s shade
 
a homeless man and his dog
 
take a midday nap.

 

 
 
 

Autumn afternoon—
 
a helicopter’s chopping
 
jolts me from my nap.

 
 
 

Sultry afternoon—
 
on the porch we sip iced tea
 
while our tabby naps.

 
 
 

Windy afternoon—
 
not even a cat can nap
 
with all this roaring!
