A very well-written 3-6-3 poem about the exe paradise bird on display in a picture frame, there for anyone to admire. It may also be the last one on earth forever.

This meets the contest requirements beautifully with a correct line / syllable count and animal theme. The first two lines paint a vivid image and the satori sadly speaks more truth than we would like to admit to. All the best in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

I looked it up and as I suspected, this beautiful creature is recently extinct. How truly sad that makes this poem of yours. It's powerful too. There it all is for all to see. We must do better. So well done. NG

Great animal artwork. Loved the haiku. People think because they're short poems. they are easy to write. But I find if written correctly, they are very difficult to write. Great job, my friend.

Perfect picture and a poem about a Parrot. Great choice of words. Nice picture choice it some what looks faded, like the parrot, who either flew away or is no more. Good Luck in the Contest. Sherman541

What happened to the poor bird that he's no longer in paradise, Anonymous Poet?
Was he captured and became someone's pet, kept in a cage?
Was he eaten by predators?
Do parrots even have any natural predators?
Food for thought...
Regardless of what happened, your 5-7-5 is well composed and in good form.
I wish you all the best in the voting booth.

    Unfortunately, it's an extinct species. HEY! That's MY bird flyin' there. A green wing macaw. How cool.

Gone is the life as it once was. Everything becomes extinct as we venture into parts not known but to the creature that live there. Man is the villain in the story. A good three-six-three haiku.

An incredibly fascinating creature is the platypus. Perhaps your illustration is just as interesting. Your platypus now looks like a disgruntled, one eyed cat. Good luck in haiku animal contest.

I enjoyed reading your animal haiku. So glad you used minimal syllables to convey your message. A fun satori line.

Well done and good luck in the contest.

Blessings
