Porcupine Haiku

" Porcupine Haiku "

by Suzán Jiván

I

Quill-armored rodent
hunched black ball high in the air
flailed quill-studded tail

II

Yellow, white-tipped hairs
broad soles covered with small bumps
wooly underfur

III

Chattering its teeth
backed up towards adversaries
quills loosely attached

IV

Excellent swimmer
air-filled quills keep it afloat
needles blunt the wind...
