Duck Raft [Haiku]

A "raft" (a.k.a. flock) of ducks float on Rudrasagar (Twijilikma) Lake in Tripura, India.
a raft of ducks
glides as a dense pack --
then one goes solo.

Different Wavelengths [Lyric Poem]

The parrot stands, as if jilted. 
The chipmunk sniffs, as if intrigued.
Parrot behaves ever so stilted.
Chipmunk is just hungry and fatigued.

Bats [Haiku]

Bats at Bateshwar Temple Group, Morena, (near Gwalior,) Madhya Pradesh, India.
ancient temple:
bats strafe ambulators;
wing flaps puff on bare scalp.

Taillight Kitty [Haiku]

two little kittens
crawl the undercarriage
of a dump-truck.

KAZAKHSTAN LIMERICK

There was an Eagle Hunter of Kazakhstan,
which sounds like Eagle was hunted by man,
but the Eagle goes hunting,
the man sits doing nothing –
It’s a sweet gig for Eagle Hunters in Kazakhstan.

PERU LIMERICK

There was a Guinea Pig from Peru
who didn’t know just quite what to do.
He’d heard there were places
-- oh, so magical places –
where his kind lived as pets not as food.

SLOVENIA LIMERICK

There was a brown bear from Slovenia
who had a bad case of anemia.
While his kin were vegetarian,
he ate campers and carrion —
Hope you don’t meet the iron-shy bear of Slovenia.

BOTSWANA LIMERICK

There was a safari guide in Botswana
who disliked being quizzed about fauna.
"I don't mean to be rude,
but there's Huge, Fast, and Food --
so, just three types of beast in Botswana."
