Haiku Friday: Fauna

 

A few days ago, I had a conversation with my parents about the raccoons living either in or around their house. It seems that the raccoons had either planted a tree on the roof of their house or removed it (either way, a remarkable feat for raccoons). Over the past several decades, their house has suffered from squirrel invasions, at least one unauthorized bird co-habitation, and other encounters with fauna who really should have been outdoors.
 
Let's haiku about critters this week! They enliven our lives, whether we want it or not. Here, I will go first:
 
Squirrels moved in
So my brother and I shooed
Them with hockey sticks.
 
Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern, and have some fun!

Comments:
Unwelcome guests
nest on our roof in the spring
and have little ones.

As we can't evict
babies they arrogantly
strut in front of us
 
A javelina
wanted to give birth under
our deck. We said no.

 
Carolina wren
built a nest in our carport.
Four cute little chicks.
 
Did you say fauna
I search for fawns in the wood
They camouflage well
 
Magpies hate people
They want us out of our homes!
Beaks and claws-- beware!
 
A wild goose chase
Trying to photograph a
Rare white cardinal
