When most people see a hagfish for the first time...well...words escape them!
Once the shock wears off, many find relief by expressing their overwhelming dazed and amazed thoughts by writing......a haiku!
And we've gotten so many amazing creative Haikus submitted by our friends. Enjoy! And don't forget to write and send us your own. I can't wait to read it!
