.. three haiku one senryū
facing fox yet still
mother quail covered her chicks
trembling all the while
hungry small kitten
bold hungry begging tourists
trembling all the while
viper coiled to spring
poor small frog very quiet
trembling all the while
girl on a scooter
hoping he will ride with her
trembling all the while

ReplyDeleteWell done! Facets of trembling!
ReplyDeleteAh my friend. I just love the Quartet
ReplyDeleteyou have given us. I'm a bit rusty on senryu but I love how you used the last line of each to bind them into one. Just lovely.
A finely tuned series of trembling! Enjoyed these.
ReplyDeleteI did a treble tremble - your four cover most of the ground...great.
ReplyDeleteLovely set of haiku all reflecting survival of the species themes.
