SIX
HAIKU REFLECTIONS ON ANIMAL WISDOM
by
Dwight Isebia
CAT
Cat observing mouse,
waiting to choose right
tactics:
Waits too long, mouse gone !
MOUSE
Mouse observing cat
standing between mouse and
cheese:
He flees without food
BIRD
Bird now walks away
as her wings have been damaged
she can’t fly today
RABBIT
Reason is unknown
for existence of rabbit,
yet making me laugh
ANT
The ant when alone,
lacking others as organs
of total, soon dies
DOG
Man shouting, dog barks:
Sharp teeth are shown in the
dark
The thief disappears
