Crows in a Row [Haiku]

curb crows
stand in a row.
what’s the sky say?

Snake Hijinx [Kyōka]

i see snakes jutting
from the water; usually
i’d discover
it’s not snakes but sticks,
but today isn’t the usual.

Roughhousing Snakes [Haiku]

at water’s edge,
snakes wrestle: writhing, twining,
but slipping the pin.

PROMPT: Animal

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

Human being (Homo Sapiens) bears the closest resemblance.

Why? For starters, humans are animals. And I think if I were put in a lineup of varied species and a random intelligent person were asked to pick the Homo Sapiens, they’d pick me.

Buds & Blooms [Haiku]

naked branches 
of the frangipani
bud with blossoms.

Heron Perch [Haiku]

from still water
juts deadwood on which herons
perch with their shadows.

Bristling [Haiku]

leaves have dropped;
reflected sun viewed twixt
bristled seedpod clusters.

Red [Haiku]

the turning leaves
catch the morning sunlight
to show depths of red.

Ripe Grass [Haiku]

heavy-headed grass sways:
the clockwork counting down
the days of Autumn.
