Haiku Serengeti Life

Haiku Serengeti Life

On Serengeti

Many voices are heard there

Hunters and their prey

 

 

 

Lions hunt their prey

Scavengers trail cautiously

Hyena is one

 

 

 

 

Wild dogs hunt in packs

Antelope, gazelle, their prey

They hunt much like wolves

 

 

 

 

The long necked giraffe

Eighteen feet tall and lanky

Its predator man

 

 

 

 

Elephants walk through

Knocking down trees as they go

They only fear man

 

 

Now the hunt is on

Smell the fear that fills the air

Who will die today?

 

 

 

 

Scavengers play safe

Hyenas keep safe distance

Wait for leftovers

 

 

 

Wild dog protected

There is safety in numbers

Lions pass them by

 

 

 

Giraffe is too tall

Lanky legs move with wonder

Tall man has great speed

 

 

Trampled if they try

Elephants not an option

Smells another prey

 

 

 

 

Lion’s roar brings fear

On the Serengeti plane

Now the hunt is on

 

 

 

Blood thirst in their eyes

Zebras drink at the river

Quietly they stalk

 

 

 

Zebras unaware

Danger lurks in the bushes

They hears a low growl

 

 

Zebras flee the scene

Lion pounces, claws extend

One Zebra moved slow

 

 

 

Lions eat their fill

Then bask in the noonday sun

All is safe for now

 

 

 

Monkeys swing from trees

Playfully they chatter on

High above the earth

 

 

 

Safe from roaring lions

Monkeys play the entire day

Their tails a fifth hand

 

 

Feast on bananas

Monkeys have a carefree life

Groom one another

 

 

 

They’re jungle jesters

Goofing around in the trees

Make a laughing sound

 

 

 

Lions and monkeys

King of beasts and court jesters

Share their jungle space

This is another great string haiku from you. It is especially fun for me since I have a soft spot for wildlife. Thanks for sharing. Enjoyable and fun read.
