Zoo Haiku
Sunday, September 2nd, 2007A spontaneous
trip to the zoo this morning.
We beat the hot crowds!
Green caterpillar
dropped onto october’s arm
She slapped, it stung her.
Two Galapagos
did their grunting mating game
while Lug and I watched.
Who knew the rhinos
made screeching noises walking?
No surprise that they stink.
The yellow, brown leaves
rippled the stream; the kids played
beneath the poplar.
