I love the poetic form here.

Beavers are the second-largest living rodents after the capybaras. semi-aquatic rodents in the genus Castor native to the temperate Northern Hemisphere.

stunning imagery!

Yes - I really like the Cinquain form too. I am happy with the imagery as well. I love the sound of beaver tail slaps on water when I am lucky enough to hear them. Like hearing the call of a loon on a lake. Such a supernatural sound...

Honestly I am intrigued as to what you would suggest for adding advanced punctuation. I would love you to show me how you would do so... I am here to learn after all...

Okay I see. Like a reduction to concentrate the flavours. Requires/triggers the readers mind to participate more. Internalize more.

I like the original as is, but here is another take:

Beaver
Takes little bites.
Twigs and branch
Flood nearby ranch.
Beaver don't care;
Progress don't wait.

Has the feel (to me) like a Haiku, well, with more syllables

Really like the focus
