Cornucopia: Shelter

Shelter

adapted  Senryū 5, 7, 5)

by Kate Chamberlin

Ants in long, straight lines,

parading back to their hill,

sheltered from danger.

Prairie dogs dashing

underground burrow shelters

deep, warm and cozy.

Big, wooly Bison,

rump to rump in a circle,

shelter from attack.

Clown fish dart quickly

anemone spine shelters,

host none the wiser.

Mama bird comes home

to her four sheltered fledglings,

soon to be full grown.

Your touch makes me smile,

I feel sheltered in your arms,

safe in your embrace.
