    I've watched an episode of Planet Earth that talked about these amazing creatures. Sad to know that most eggs don't make it. A nice tribute you have here to the struggle of the penguins.

    Really nice Haiku, I see you have explored a few different forms, with success in the process. I explored the Haiku one night lol. I do like them, very much, but there's just something about them. I feel like I have to change my whole thinking to write one.

    Somehow while reading this nice little descriptive haiku, thoughts of Danny DeVito and the late Burgess Meredith came into my mind. This was very good.

    I am not too much of Penguin fan... I know, I know... Evil! But, I did enjoy the write. Anything written out of love or passion is a great write, and all of yours are fantastic!

    when I saw this title, I just had to come and read this one. Nice one, Anne. Did you see the Documentary about them? I was so inspired by it, I did four poems after seeing March of the Penguins!!

    Really sweet Haiku. I love penguins, I think their really interesting creatures. They only mate once in their lifetime, and also some species partake in homosexual activities.

    I'm obsessed with penguins haha have been my entire life!
