haiku at the zoo

(inspired by the coral reef tank-- our favorite winter hang-out)

salt water ballet
color extrodanary
flows in slow motion
_____

giggles and bubbles
grubby handprints on the glass
life beneath the sea
_____

divine artistry
brings forth unfathomable
creativity
_____

follow me, sissy!
-over, under, through, between-
adventure awaits!
_____

unchoreographed,
the masses move in perfect
synchronicity

shaun, why don't you let Lorie and I have a haiku-love match slam between rounds of the jazz slam?

lorie, in this type of format we read back in forth 10 haiku's. higest score wins. maybe 5 rounds would be better.

interesting thought... scarey, but interesting... I could be persuaded, perhaps...

Not to redundantly repeat all the compliments that came before, but these are really great, Lorie. They make me want to go to the zoo.
