Division

A chair, a tall stand
My feet so sore, my head too
a long, hard, work day.

Make each word count out
loud, plain, one two three, each sound
make it spare and strong

teeth ache, knees whine, stop
I have had enough right now
two days work weigh down

He got me a uke
I try to strum, learn the chords
a sweet, small, joy tone.

Cat wants me to play
wants me to make the bird move
So sad, I'm a lump.

(What is the nearest, divisible, haiku, to one hundred? How to write 1/8th poem?

Sum total or separate parts, this works/these work really well. Spare & strong indeed.

When I was really ill the other day my cat was walking around with a toy in his mouth, meowing. I felt really guilty not being able to do what he wanted and throw it around for him.

Being in a cat's pack comes with many responsibilities.
