Safari (Senryu) Poem by Seamus O' Brian
Safari (Senryu)
daily we rush past
countless leafy miracles
looking for lions
green the cathedral
spires soaring with my soul
unbound higher still
elephants scuffle
feinting combat without wounds
leaves of grass destroyed
wildlife observes
excited humans swarming
long lens migrations

Nicely written observational and philosophical senryu. Your note is so true. In nature we have much to learn and observe and nature will simply outlast us.
