BEAR

BEAR VIDEO

A bear strolled through my yard tonight

Surprising, but yet welcome sight.

I know I should be scared, but not.

My only hope - he isn’t caught!

No cubs in tow, maybe a “he”

Or just a very young lady

Feeders empty...so what to do?

He takes a sniff and just walks through!

TURTLE HAIKU

Turtles sun themselves

Gain energy from the sun

Basking in stillness

'Till intruders come

They slip into the water

Silently they hide

Until danger's past

They remain underwater

To emerge later

Once again they'll perch

Content in the warm sunshine

On their favorite log

FOX HAIKU

Four fox pups sniffing,

Exploring on wobbly legs

Stay close to their den

Step out carefully

Then instinctively they hide

Warned by a slight sound

Nature’s camouflage

Blends them into the background

Shields them from harm’s way

Watching me, wary

I can’t make them understand

I mean them no harm

OSPREY HAIKU

Osprey flies above

Taking to the sky on wing

Searching, seeking prey

Dipping and soaring

Scans the water for movement

Deadly clues to tell

Where lunch is hiding

Once spotted, there’s no escape

She dives and clutches

Over in a blink

The theme of nature’s story

Death means life for her
