stick bug
its camouflage useless
on a white wall
like my love
clear and open

A very nice haiga, Adelaide. Probably a colour blind stick bug?...
Probably was, Frank. I never would have seen it if it were on a tree and not on the side of the house. Thanks for stopping by.

And the first 3 lines make a nice haiku Lines 1 & 3 with an added jux (maybe derived from lines 4 & 5, could work, too.
But I like it as is.
Thanks Bill. Maybe I'll write a couple of versions of this.

Very nice. Like your stick bug tanka w/photo!!
We've got a lot of these "walkingsticks" at our place. Found one on the side of our house a few weeks ago and, coincidentally, wrote a tanka about it.
Good blog! (Am spending a few minutes perusing blogs this morning.)

Hi Janet,
Happy to have a new viewer of my blog. I'll be on the lookout for your tanka in journals and will check out your blog.
