Category: Haiku Poems About Animals

Horses
in the snow
No saddles

Leaf
hopped –
A frog!

Bear
eats a fish
Fossil fuel

Muskrat stands
in the headlights
She lights a cigarette

Lover stands
in the porch light
She lights a cigarette

Flies flit
Dirt caked
on a bison’s back

Horses bent
The prairie
grass blows

Ostriches and lions
lounge on the grassland
Too hot today to run

Bear in a tree
Nowhere to go
but down

Boughs that bend
A bear ascends
the young poplar tree

Travelers wait
A bear on the road
leaving town

A moose chews
wildflowers, antlers wide
in the sun

Steaming nostrils
sipping my tea
The submerged hippo
