Caren Krutsinger Poet Haibun

Spider Monkeys of the 5th Degree

Their prehensile tails act as a fifth limb, helping spider monkeys swing from tree to tree. They often hang by this amazing appendage as they wrestle and play high enough to resemble spiders.  


			                 jungle boogie
                                   tails of spider monkeys 
                                      screeching acrobats

Judy Ball March 3, 2021 at 4:51 PM Oh they really are sooo cute. And that tail is strong. Had friends who had two of them and they were so sweet and those tails were as strong as their arms and they used them just like another hand. Good stuff Caren. God Bless, JB Caren Krutsinger March 4, 2021 at 7:15 AM They sure are cute!
