The Caudata Haiku thread

[mewsie]

I love this one. It sounds like it was actually written by a randy newt.

Hahahaha, me too!!

 

[Kaysie]

I actually forwarded that one on to a friend (non-member) who is appreciative of both slimy critters, and cleverly written poetry.

I LOLed.

appreciative of both slimy critters, and cleverly written poetry.

A winning combination which must be frustratingly difficult to satisfy in one go. Until now.

 

[Molch]

So eager, ain't he?
Now where on earth did he drop
that spermatophore?

 

[Kaysie]

What is that weird stuff?
The question is: poop or barf.
It's no matter. Gross!

 

[Sam Weaver]

Never in the air.
Feasting; Breeding; Loving life.
Tank bound little babes.

I'm glad he's rethinking his eating habits while captive in the fridge.


my little tiger
though you may like the water
please live on land now


Steep wall of glass
You foil my plans for now
Soon I will climb you


I lived in water
Back when I was a larva
Now I prefer land


Springtime is now here
Into the water I go
Why hello ladies


dearest nintendo
salamander pokemon.
please consider it


Did you know there is a pokemon that is an exploded bag of trash, but no salamander? Really now. (Well, Wooper's sorta an Axolotl, and Charmander sort of sounds like salamander... But he is a lizard.) 649 and still no salamander.

Mudkip is based on axolotls!!! XD

Well, looks like someone needs to revive this thread! These Haikus are awesome! Time for me to give it a go.

Peering through the moss
Desmognathus stares at me
What are you thinking?

My inspiration for this Haiku came directly from my Desmognathus orestes. I checked on them this morning and the smallest specimen was peering at me from under a clump of moss.

 

[Molch]

Neurergus strauchii:
Polka dots! Oh, polka dots!
I see polka dots.

 

[Molch]

eating his sibling:
Hannibal the Cannibal,
one fat happy morph!

 

[ozarkhellbender]

Swimming in the tank,
Little Ichthyosaura
Looks for worms to eat

 

[ozarkhellbender]

Burrowed in the mud,
Pseudotriton ruber waits
Hidden from my view

 

[Molch]

Do newts ever fart?
While cleaning their tank, I saw
a small bubble rise

 

[The Banana]

In Australia,
Axies are the only Sals,
we can possess here.


*wipes away a tear*

 

[The Banana]

My three Marshmellows,
I love you axolotls,
but worms are meager.

Edit: I call my axolotls My Marshmellows, because they are all mushy, sweet things.

 

[The Banana]

Eating and sleeping,
For I’m a salamander,
It is what I do.

 

[The Banana]

For Orzarkhellbender!

Out of extent now,
Thomas has an addiction,
To Salamanders.

Rock flipping softly,
Looking for salamanders,
This is called herping.

Axies are Caudates,
Amphibians, and are Sals,
Do not call them fish!

 

[fasteddy]

I follow your eyes,
And each time they say to me
“I am SO sticky.”

 

[esn]

I wish I could remember the salamander sex haiku that my friend wrote for me.

Axolotl Sex,
Oh Baby, it's so slimy
Spermatophores rage.

Axies Doing Yoga
Standing on the green plant leaves
Tones Wrinkly Stomachs

Dearest Tyra, your
face smushed to glass is so cute
but you'll get no food

Sexy Enrique,
Your squirmy antics aren't chill
Tyra won't love you

Juveniles Logging
Floating up to the tank top
Axies Hanging out

Slimy Tyra Banks
Your new corn rows don't suit you
Grow back your gills, please

When worms come to town,
Axies lose all their manners
Stop biting my hand

Walking to my dorm
Turkey baster in my hand
is embarrassing.

Water change mess,
friend thought she peed her pants, my!
Don't sit next to tanks.

I could do this all day. Axolotl haikus will be my next term paper.

 

[snootyfox]

Slavishly I hold
Live foods, in icy water
Please eat soon, bubby.

Or...

There's this 'lotl in old London town,
Who's coloured pink, but his missus was brown.
Said his missus "Why fella,"
"Seems our babies are yeller"
"One might think I'd been messin' aroun!"
