Shi Haiku Moments In Roku-Ju Hachi Syllables

Mammals shed their hair;
birds prune and feather thier nests;
snakes crawl out of skins.

Lions stalk their prey
as birds peck at blades of grass,
black widows weave webs.

White roses are cute;
black widows are hideous:
lovely is white silk.

Flowers feed the bees
and nectar turns to honey;
worker bees soon die.
