Haiku Street

Tigers
               Retractable claws
               Tufty tail rows of sharp teeth
               Pounce on prey to eat


Salmon
               Salmon beauty of
               The sea, king salmon biggest
               And tastiest Kings


Wolf
               Glowing eyes at night
               Frightening howls that frighten
               Piercing teeth that tear


Crocs
               Shows an evil grin
               Rows of terrifying teeth
               Eats birds like popcorn


Rain
               Rain from clouds above
               Glorious gods crying on
               Us, liquid crystals


Weird
               Moose on the loose in
               An Alaskan caboose, what
               Now, he’s a hanger!


Northern Lights
               Northern lights dancing
               Among the colorful sky
               God’s colored blood flows


Cabin on Alaska lake
