Guard Duty
They’re resting;
Both – both eyes open –
Still alert.
Head to tail
Directions covered
Tail to head.

* The haiku I write are lines of 3-5-3 syllables instead of 5-7-5.

You’ve done a very neat job of wrapping this one up, Dennis. And I always feel so sorry for animals that are so very ugly. Sometimes I feel called upon to say something pretty about them in prose or poetry myself.
Haven’t been visiting many sites lately. Keeping up with my own sites has been a stretch; I’ve cheated with just posting pictures and little blurbs rather than something with substance. But I’m trying to get focused that direction again.
I do like commenting on your posts, because you have one of the themes that has script in the comment boxes that is “readable.” So many of these stupid themes have teeny, tiny font sizes in the comment boxes, and even when I use that Ctrl/+ formula to enlarge the screen it’s still almost unreadable.
Ever hear the expression, ‘so ugly they’re cute’?
