MAY 12: six illustrated reptilian haiku from the Lowcountry



LOWCOUNTRY HAIKU #1


choosing limblessness,

snakes and some legless lizards

prefer to slither.

Giorgio Coniglio


LOWCOUNTRY HAIKU #2


discarded rubber 

tire-tread near a Southern pond --

Oops! alligator!

Giorgio Coniglio


LOWCOUNTRY HAIKU #3
a brave anole,

patrolling the boundary

displays his dewlap.

Giorgio Coniglio


LOWCOUNTRY HAIKU #4











wise parental geese

advise single-file travel

on gatory ponds.

Giorgio Coniglio


TODAY's HAIKU POEM #5



five-lined (blue-tailed) skink --

an intelligent lizard

who writes limericks.

Giorgio Coniglio

Readers might enjoy a story told in illustrated verse, dated November 24, 2022, entitled "skink-busting".


LOWCOUNTRY HAIKU #6 

seeking salty warmth,

US crocs, unlike gators,

stick to south FL.

Giorgio Coniglio
