Praying Mantis

focused praying mantis still as a stick


clueless prey three times its size


best friend of gardeners

Poetry form:  Kimo - An Israeli form of haiku that has three lines with a 10-7-6 syllable format and which does not rhyme. Another imperative aspect of the Kimo poem is that the lines do not rhyme.  Also, the Kimo is focused on a single frozen image (kind of like a snapshot). So it's uncommon to have any movement happening in kimo poems.
