Notes About The Poem

Try to leave the Earth a better place than when you arrived.  Sidney Sheldon

- Haiku X 176 - It's About Surviving -

the planet's mammals

                                   - in the middle of nowhere

                                   ... eternal escape








                    *wildlife moves further away from the equator

good write...even here...growing up I never saw so many birds of prey, now they are always in the sky, looking for food... the animals are being chased away from over building... sad

There's an old saying that goes like this: Do bears poop in the woods? The answer was "not polar bears" I'm afraid that answer will be void if the climate change keeps up. Great haiku, Anne-Lise. Hugs Charlie x
