They live In the shadows

To make up for a recent dearth of daily haikus, here are 4 that I wrote in quick succession…
All of a sudden,
Hurtling from the deep jungle
Was a silverback.
Without any thought,
I wrote that lovely haiku
To amuse myself.
The glare on my screen
Makes it very hard to read
What I am writing.
Less than five minutes
To write four random haikus

Confused state of mind
Makes it hard to write this verse;
This will have to do.

Many-cooked fats and oils
Stink the air, catch in my throat,
Make it hard to breathe.

Fans whir without cease,
Heats the room to boiling point,
But it helps me write!

Lawnmower mumbles,
Grass shaven, weeds beheaded,
Trimmings composted.

Chocolate muffins:
Cocoa, flour, eggs, milk, and
Vanilla essence.

Bottlenose Dolphin
Couples with False Killer Whale
To create Wolphin

Jimmy Cagney looms,
Tommy gun in hand, saying
“You doity rat!” - not!
It’s a fact that James Cagney never ever said “You dirty rat”. It’s the impressionists of Cagney who picked it up over the years. A bit like “Beam me up, Scotty”, which was never uttered by Captain Kirk.

Nuclear Power:
Atom smashing generates
Massive energy.
Nuclear Attack:
Atom smashing generates
Mass casualties.

Filled with devilment,
Lying in wait for the chance
To make you a fool.
