Preying Mantis Prays

Preying mantis prays, “Thank you God for meat to eat.” licking raptor legs. I Missed Carolyn's Contest, but here's a Preying Mantis haiku anyway. I love preying mantis. They are a gardener's helper since they eat insects. And they are such fun to photograph. Did you see the picture in my book, "100 Poems for Life"?

This is wonderful. I like the praying image of the Mantis as it awaits its prey. The prayer is excellent. It's better late than never. Great job! Joseph
