Notes About The Poem

 

 

 

 

Mammals shed their hair;

Birds prune and feather their nests;

Snakes crawl out of skins.

 

Lions stalk their prey.

While birds peck at blades of grass,

Black widows weave webs.

 

Worker bees work hard;

They make honey from nectar.

Drones eat, mate and die.

 

Azaleas blooming—

Black widows weaving their webs;

Good-bye silk flowers.

 

Hungry hate hunting—

Love’s lone lamb looks luscious;

Faith favors freedom.

Destines: Five Haiku Moments

Mammals shed their hair;
Birds prune and feather their nests;
Snakes crawl out of skins.

Lions stalk their prey.
While birds peck at blades of grass,
Black widows weave webs.

Worker bees work hard;
They make honey from nectar.
Drones eat, mate and die.

Azaleas blooming—
Black widows weaving their webs;
Good-bye silk flowers.

Hungry hate hunting—
Love’s lone lamb looks luscious;
Faith favors freedom.
