Five cats playing cards

Betting fish chips and catnip

Winner takes it all

🐟

Place your antes now

Divvying up for five card claw

Game is dealer’s choice

πŸƒ

Red dueces wild

Nothing beats a Meow Flush

Jokers in the deck

πŸ’°

Each poker face playing

The best hand which is dealt them

The goal is the pot

πŸͺ™

Meeting every week

For a friendly poker game

Feline card sharks bluff

πŸˆβ€β¬›

Friends from the alley

Strengthening their bonds weekly

Late into the night

🐈

Memories recalled

Laughing over some warm cream

Should pass on the herb

🌿

Nibbling on the chips

Drunkenly raising their bets

Hoping someone folds

πŸŽ‰

With the bankroll bet

The showdown will soon be done

Until the next week

πŸ₯‚

The will start again

The dealer passing out cards

And bets being made

A/N:

This is inspired by Andrew and his writing, whom pens haikus gorgeously, telling such grand stories with his poetry.

I've had this image for awhile, and knew I wanted to write something about it. I couldn't think of what medium I wanted to use. After reading one of Andrew's Haiku Stories, I knew what medium to use.
