Ten Haiku
leatherback turtles
since the time of dinosaurs
have crawled toward the sea
nocturnal hedgehog
I see you during the day
let me get you help
shrill carder queen bees
emerge from hibernation
to build a grass nest
tiny red squirrels
in the woods of Anglesey
feast on hazelnuts
in Snowdonia
a small pine marten nestles
deep in a tree hole
in Auln Valley
a high brown fritillary
spots a violet
on Skomer Island
near the ocean at Wick’s Cliffs
puffins take the plunge
two small tortoiseshells
feast on purple buddleia
then they flit away
auroch-like tauros
rewild ancient highlands
with their mighty hooves
eurasian otters
at the coast feed in the sea
then bathe in a stream
