Even though Bailey beat me to the 17-syllabled punch, here's my haiku about one of my favorite things.
Size belied by name
Seen ev'rywhere but unseen
A slow moving beast
Even though Bailey beat me to the 17-syllabled punch, here's my haiku about one of my favorite things.
Size belied by name
Seen ev'rywhere but unseen
A slow moving beast
Is it a:
Size belied by name
A pretty long name for a micro-animal. It's other names are quite long as well - waterbear or moss piglet
Seen ev'rywhere but unseen
Tardigrades can literally be found anywhere (even in space!). But they are too small to be seen.
A slow moving beast
Tardigrade comes from Tardigrada, meaning "slow stepper"
And the title: Evolution's Triumph
Tardigrades can survive in really extreme environments (even space!)
Perhaps not intended, but fits:
Microsoft
Size belied by name
The word "micro" belies the size of the corporation.
Seen ev'rywhere but unseen
Windows is everywhere, but has no physical form to see since it is software
A slow moving beast
Microsoft as a large bureaucracy can be rather slow. For instance, they finally added virtual desktops as a built-in feature to Windows 10, while Linux has had them for like, 20 years.
Is it:
A Bearded Dragon / Dragon Lizard?
Size belied by name
With Dragon in the name, you'd expect it to be huge.
Seen ev'rywhere but unseen
Reference to the camouflaging capabilities of the lizard.
A slow moving beast
They like to stay still a lot..
Evolution's Triumph
The camouflage was an evolutionary triumph for the species.
