ves-purrs

By Kat Myrman

ves-purrs 

three a.m., the cat hovering over me
perched on my chest, rising and
falling with every breath

Kimo poems are an Israeli version of haiku. Apparently, there was a need for more syl lables in Hebrew. That said, most of the rules are still familiar:

• 3 lines.

• No rhymes.

• 10 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 6 in the third.

Also, the kimo is focused on a single frozen image (kind of like a snapshot). So it’s uncommon to have any movement happening in kimo poems.
