Haiku #1: The Cunning Cat


A mouse on a stroll,

Unaware of the danger.

A cat claims its prey.


Haiku #2: The Generic Giraffe


A very long neck,

Some spots to help them stand out.

And a long black tongue. 


Haiku #3: The Joyful Jaguar


A jaguar roams,

Greeting everyone they meet,

With a huge smile. 


Haiku #4: The Baffled Bee


A wandering bee,

Found itself far from the hive.

Not sure what to do.


Haiku #5: The Tearful Tortoise


One hundred years old,

Living alone in the pond.

He just wants a friend.




Acrostic Poem: Animal Mania


Alligators love showing off their teeth to passerby.

Narwhals are great at making cotton candy.

Iguanas travel from tree to tree, looking for insects to eat.

Mosquitos frantically search for flesh to bite into.

Anteaters are nature’s vacuum cleaners. 

Lions enjoy soaking up sun in the savannah.
