vacant but for a gnawed
hickory nutshell.

The Platypus. A motley assortment of elements with unexpectedly poor flight characteristics that yet can thrive in multiple environments.

Foot-tapping Seagull [Kyōka]
a Seagull stands
at a respectful distance
from a fish stall,
waiting for the fishmonger
to do the right thing.

PROMPT: Ambitious DIY
Trying to get squirrels out of the attic. They did me like Macaulay Culkin / Kevin McCallister in Home Alone. Ultimately, had to call experts (pest control, not hitmen,) and they made short work of it.

Snow Squirrel [Haiku]
chubby squirrel
scampers across crusty snow --
crunchlessly!

The Regal Eagle [Lyric Poem]
No bird ever seemed quite so regal
As a quietly perching eagle.
But it's not so much like a king
When it dismounts, to take wing --
Cause that bird has to work for its living.

River Taco [Lyric Poem]
We kayak where lives Hippopotamus,
And hope it isn't submerged, a-bottom us.
With kayak a quite crunchy hard shell --
Us: savory filling that screams and yells, --
We'll be a three-bite river taco to hell.

Fly [Haiku]
fly in Summer,
buzzes around a cow --
dodging whip-tail.

Bird on a Wire [Haiku]
a bird alights
onto a windswept wire;
then seems to doze.
