Tanka (31 syllables)

(a bundle of joy will certainly make it an appropriate fulfillment of wealth)

bubbly baby
unceremoniously expelled
from comforts of womb
father smiled remembering
of love cemented with mom

(Apologies to all good mothers. 
Hank did not mean to be disrespectful)
just a little humor on a very serious  subject


Haiku (17 syllables)

procreation wrapped
responsibility to
sustain lineage met

  6. I love it, Hank. It is an amazing thing, how the father protects the baby penguin while the mother makes her trek looking for food.
