sheep

HUMP Day Haiku


wary ewes stand back
week-old lambs are curious
haired sheep, no fleecing!






The sheep’s owner was kind enough to let me photograph her “haired” sheep.
They don’t require shearing like a sheep with fleece, so are less work.
The smooth hair on the lambs’ bodies reminded me of newborn calves.
The white one (twin to the tri-colored lamb) was very photogenic
and eager to see what I was up to.

These creatures are so awesomely beautiful with their curiousity and loving eyes. I love them like I do cows with their eyes and mouths that move constantly. tee hee. Love your Haiku. Thank you. Have a great rest of the week.

Great haiku! I've never seen hairy sheep before, they are adorable. Very kind of their owner to allow you to take photographs. Happy Hump Day!
