Haiku Haiku all fall down
Haipu
If pigs really flew
Folk who’d been poohed on by birds
would wear larger hats.
Tiger
Amber eyes lashed coal
dark lace lines creep antique gold
part of tree and grass
Elephant
Great mud beast cracked baked
tusk trooping trunk trailing tank
creased worried gentle.

Wow, you seem to have a gift for haiku -- you have captured the beauty of these majestic animals. And of course, the first one is great fun.
I don't Haiku, but the description of the animals are beautiful. You write with an indescribable talent.
Bye, take care of yourself,
very nicely written haikus how beautifully you bring out the animals :)
your quaint pieces formed images of a vibrant literary zoo in my head. :)
p.s. I didn't know about you and pastel. Call it a lucky guess. Better yet, blame it on the astonishing visuals of your previous poem. :)
hahaha - good one finnegan. creative genius!!! :)
Sue, did you know that pigs do fly? I can tell by the stuff that lands on me from time to time. Now elephants, that would be truely scary!

This is absolutely brilliant! I love it.
"Haipu" inevitably reminded me of this poem by Stan Rice:
