gold snub-nosed pet howls artic broadleaf quakes, echo~ scatters icecap prey Posted : April 13th 2022 How Many Syllables Verified Brief explanations; The golden or gold snub-nosed monkey is a pet. As pets they are playful, smart, affectionate. This animal has a range of unusual vocal styles including a howl or a whine. As a primate it can endure harsh winters in Asia which explains my use of artic and icecap in the overall haiku sequence. Broadleaf as in broadleaf tree.

Howard, enjoyed this, but even more after your explanatory note. I found the words you chose to paint this haiku very very lovely, imagist. Bravo!
