Haiku For Hidden Habitats

Haiku for Hidden Habitats



Mournful doves coo
     Bullfrogs call from tall green reeds
         Traffic rushes by

Fox quietly treads
     Rabbits from their warrens peak
        Traffic rushes by

Snake moves soundlessly
    the hawk glides on wind whispers
         Traffic rushes by

Shy yellow flutters
     Doe statues stand in the field
        Traffic rushes by

Traffic rushes by
      Unaware of hidden gifts
          Precious habitats




Written after walking in 
    open space near a highway

Those folks who are rushing past these beautiful gifts of nature will never know what they missed. Only a talented poet like you could make such an observation. A round of applause for this great haiku series! Love, Carolyn
