Analysis of Admire Her Afar!



Large protruding eyes.
Common to tropical seas.
This fairly small ray.

Intertidal zone.
Dasyatidae her species.
At thirty meters.

Bright blue polka dots.
So showered with accolades.
Predators be warned.

Colorful stingray.
Bluespotted Ribbontail Ray.
Don’t mess with her sting!

This ocean-finned friend.
Packed with a potent poison.
Admire her afar!

A creature of beauty, the Bluespotted Ribbontail Stingray packs a wallop of a sting. This poem is written in a five-stanza haiku format.
