Caspian Haiku: Japanese poetry taking a tern for the worse
#1 To Justify Existence.
Salmon in red bill
Cap as black as death to scorn
These bands on my legs
#2 On the Burden of Progeny.
Oh chick where art though?!
Silverside awaits-alas!
Gull predation’s toll…
#3 The Field Technician’s Eternal Woe.
Plot count then gull scan
MDR, GPR, damn!
I forgot my lunch
#4 A Fragmentation of Self Through Society’s Mirrored Haze.
Body elongate.
Large-eyed with silvery sheen.
Compressed. What am I?!
- Nick Broman, Fish and Wildlife Technician, San Francisico Bay
