Forfeit [Haiku]

brown moth blends against bare earth,
'til footfall tremor sends it lurching.

The Fire-Bellied Toad [Lyric Poem]

Let me give you a Fire-Bellied Toad fun fact:
They're party in the front, camo in the back.
With safety vest wrong side up on this toad,
You'll often find them squashed on a road.

Camouflage [Senryū]

tree, wrapped in vines,
shape broken & trunk hidden;
an attempt to blend?

Zebra [Lyric Poem]

The zebra's form of camouflage
Only works with an entourage.
The Savanna isn't black and white,
But with herds it's hard to see where to bite.

Cow Camo [Senryū]

cow camouflage:
sitting in tall grass, stilly —
unsuccessful.

The Right Angle [Haiku]

overgrown: ruins
hidden from the side are
revealed from above.

Huge but Hiding [Haiku]

beyond the city,
a massive mountain looms,
pretending to be clouds.

Not the Face! [Senryū]

a young skink's
vibrant cobalt blue tail
says, "Not the Face!"

Camo Fail [Senryū]

the flowers hide
in tall grass & sedges,
but bees still find them.

Tailed Jay [Senryū]

the tailed jay
is the only shade of green
that's not camouflage
