" 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...
