TODAY'S POEM ('senryu' *)
five-lined (blue-tailed) skinks,
unconcerned by gravity;
I watch jealously.
Giorgio Coniglio
* learn more HERE about "senryu", a term that designates a lesser known Japanese short poem that shares the physical characteristics of haiku (nominally 17 'on' / syllables in three non-rhyming lines), but deals in a satiric or humorous way with human foibles rather than with Nature.
Avid readers can find another illustrated poem about five-lined skinks by clicking HERE, and might enjoy a photo-collage of lowcountry wildlife in which they are featured HERE .
