haiku my heart


 
walking stick bug found
by three mischievous kids
curiosity
 
 
 
it's twig-like body
crawled onto my grandson's hand
moving gracefully
 
this unique insect
a haiku unto itself 
quietly exists

    How fun! A very interesting creature wonderfully described. I wonder if it ever makes a sound.

    That is so cool! We saw a walking stick on our last camping trip. I hadn't seen one of those in years!
