Haiku and Tanka - 7. Nature

 

 

 

Nature

 


Silver, silken thread

woven delicately there

where the spider waits



Striped yellow and black

Sips nectar and spreads pollen

Bumblebees at work



Marching in a row

Following the scent trail laid

Working for their queen.



Green, wiggly, crawly,

Hunching its way up a tree

See the inchworm go



Snow-in-Summer blooms

A blanket of white on green

Flowers so pretty grow



Bloodsuckers

Small vampire-like

Mosquitoes



Green and blue

Mosquito fighters

Dragonflies



A leaf on a twig

Hiding in plain sight, hungry

Praying Mantis waits



Newly emerged, wet

Slowly pumping unfurled wings

Glorious color

Searching antennae, sensing

Time to fly is nigh -- rebirth



Hairy vine

Tripod leaves, white fruit

Poison Ivy

Hmmm... Interesting take on nature, you could have focussed on the most popular themes of nature, but you went to the different direction focussing on the beauty of insects, our alien like creatures. You didn't need more description, you brought the images matter of factly.

 

I liked this again, you depict the beauty of the not so obvious. Starting with the spider and ending with the poison ivy... In between the mosquitos... Every creature do have a place in the nature.
