It's called "One Single Impression":
What I like about this meme is that it is a prompt to write short poems or haiku, something that I have not done in a long time.The current cue is "Myth," and my first effort is rather pitiful, but perhaps I'll improve over time:
solitary cat myth,
buried under bodies
jockeying for lap.

Sue,
Thanks for joining us this week! I hope you'll be back...
Thanks for this wonderful contribution. Do we ever think of ourselves as myths? Perhaps we should.
Welcome to OSI. At one time I lived in an apartment with six cats and I thought *that* was a crowd (many times, it was a thundering herd). LOL! Fun photo and 'ku.
Hi Sue,
"solitary" cat_jockeying for lap(read love)..a warm 'sociological' comment..many thanks..
..ps:ur poem-sunflower roots is lovely..thanks..
Then we're newbies together! It's only my second week for OSI. :)
Your haiku made me chuckle. Ten cats! Now that's just a fight.
After seeing some of the comments, I decided to move one word from the beginning of the second line to the end of the first. The poem is no longer haiku (no longer 5-7-5), but perhaps will be understood better.
This your first effort? Not bad at all! I enjoyed it very much-having had a number of cats in my life.
Thank you for sharing.
Great cat-ku. It would serve us very well to be able to see the myth about us. Welcome to OSI.
Welcome!
