Nature Haikus 7.0
Date
Bumble bees in the sun
But what do they do at night
They date their honey
Flutterbies
silken colored wings
butterfly or maybe fairies
both are magical
Trap
spiders spin their webs
inviting but yet a trap
still: Dark temptation
Golf
the busy blind mole
digging holes in the lawn
handy for golf balls
Moving House
the dormouse's house
in a hollowed out tree stump
he's now branching out
Road
frog crosses the road
lots of heavy traffic there
the frog sadly croaks
Home Cover
The eagle-eyed eagle soars
rabbits run home for cover
killer on the loose

David...i am always delighted by your nature Haiku! And the incorporation. of your exceptional sense of humor, is an extra addition of pleasure!
On a rather saturated Saturday morning, these are as sunbeams of smiles...some of them right out loud!
From states-side, all sorts of happy hugs on their way to you!!

strangely it's a saturated morning here too, but then it usually is (lol) I am so glad you enjoyed, laughed and smiled - my work is done :-) Huge bog mammoth Hugs :-)

Gosh, David. I enjoyed these. If I may make some suggestions:
First . . .
Trap
spiders spin their webs
inviting but [ still ] a trap
still: Dark temptation
Because you have used 'still' twice, I would recommend replacing the first with 'yet'. This would carry the consonance of T beautifully.
Secondly,
Home Cover
The eagle-eyed eagle soars
rabbits run home for cover
killer on the loose
I would recommend hypgenating eagle-eyes and removing the comma in L1. It honestly does nothing but interrupt the flow. That last line is killer ( no pun intended )!
The double-entendre of Road is great!

David, I really enjoyed these...I read with a smile on my face from the first line...perfectly captured and brought about excellent visuals...Loved them! I will say with this one...
"Golf
the busy blind mole
digging holes in the lawn
handy for golf flags"
~ I instinctively said "balls" instead of "flags"...but perhaps I have rules for Haiku wrong...thoughts?

And there it is...that clever humor I have so come to adore! Spider webs are cool...spiders, not so much. Poor little frog! Run little rabbits, run! Lots of big hugs for you!!! :)
