Slither in the grass
Your long fork'd tongue catches bugs
By the garden path

Dennis-
  Contrary to my friend dg's response,
  I really kinda like the little guys-
  well some of them anyway.  
  Love the haiku.

Thank you David, but no thank you.........
How about a tanka?

My grass is growing
(Fueled by the too frequent rain)
By great leaps and bounds
It mocks me with shear delight
Me and my broken lawn mower!

Dennis~

Slither, snake in grass
Lawn mower makes one more pass
Snake in fast retreat
Ewwwwww !  Not fast enough you see
Another one bites the dust !

Bro; This is a clever one and I'm hooked on
these things now;;

a mouse skurries by
in the blink of an eye gone
he swallowed it whole

(A Tanka it is  
There's no grass under my feet
Although there should be--
After all it's my front yard
Where I grow nothing but weeds!

(and tanka, tanka, tanka very much!)

Oh, wow, it's amazing.. so short yet so vivid.. oh by the way, what are the charasteristics of a haiku? I don't know how to write one either.

- James
The beauty of nature is displayed,
not through itself,
but through the creatures
dwelling within its bosom.
