Random Animal Haikus

a small green gecko
smiling in the palapa
watching everything

arachnids calmly 
weave intricate spiderwebs
waiting in shadows

a striped iguana 
sunbathing on the smooth rocks
watching the ocean

hermit crabs scuttle
on wet sand, going nowhere,
only moving on

Layla, I love the imagery of every one of these....especially the "iguana" one.

Thank you! Based on an iguana that I saw on my grandparents' porch.
