Primate On a Limb

Blissful he appears
Enjoys nature’s habitat --
Survival instinct

We have missed something
Only man kills for greed, sport --
We are devolving



*Entry for John Freeman's "Natural and Beyond" contest (Haiku first, then Senryu)

Gwendolen Song Date: 8/26/2011 8:43:00 AM Back to your haiku senryu, Carolyn. Devovling is counterproductivie for us humans. U are correct!....I took the photo as a snow monkey from Northern Japan. Wanted to show off my Nat Geo side a lil, but to no avail...Glad that Irene didn't hang out for too long and that u are safe. What a scary experience to hear the her pelting outside your residence. Kick up your feet, it's Friday. Login to Reply

Gwendolen Song Date: 8/23/2011 9:17:00 AM Checking in to see if you are safe from Irene's wrath. Love your Primate on a Limb poem for John's contest. It is so nice to see these poetry contests so diverse. Love the picture with this one too. Gwendolen Login to Reply

James Fraser Date: 8/22/2011 5:32:00 PM Devolving we are it seems Carolyn. The only thing that has progressed is technology. No matter what we invent, we always use it to kill. Fine Haiku pairing. Thank you for your kind words on "Morning Sun Over the Ben" I'm still in awe of how well it has done :) James xx Login to Reply
