reach to grab
the chocolate
Easter bunny.

A bee!

There is not much you can do about it.
A bee is just like a bee.
Will wander around the garden.
Will chase after her own affair.

Blame the prey

You can tell the sheep
    to look less delicious,
but that won't prevent the wolves
    from getting hungry.

Opportunistic Carnivorism

I stood there and watched a shroud.
Of nature.
Reveal the universe to me.
As the magpipe ate a pigeon.

I reflected on  my.

Assumptions.

(VG)

I gaze in their eyes
knowing how violent
being inside a body
you shouldn't have
to experience is.

He Told Me He's Doing A Wildlife Film

Gianna got
so jealous
after seeing
her fiancé Eric
naked in the river
with her maid of honor
Deborah and Eric's chimpanzee.

Living on leopard time

Living on leopard time,
Carrying heavy loads,
Borrowed,
I don't know who borrowed it -
Or the reason why -
But they must love me,
And want me around.

what (they call improvement)

rows
and rows
of established
trees
cut down,
animals displaced
from
their homes,
the land
stripped,
life giving
waters drained,
all for
the sake
and benefit
for mankind,
and this
is what
they call
improvement.

January 2024: Haiku/Senryu

Attic squirrels
please rest, relax, hibernate
keep it down up there

World peace is achieved
one loving soul at a time
siblings are we all
