Here’s my haiku for today, on the topic of Birds:
eagles see it all
peacocks are vain, owls are wise
what do bird myths mean?
It’s Haiku Friday again. For the past twenty years or so, it has been my practice to write one haiku every day. Every Friday I share a haiku here, about whatever topic I happen to choose. I invite you to write a haiku on this topic too, and share it with me and the readers of this blog. Just write it in the Comments below. The only rules are: 1) your haiku must be about the named topic; 2) you must follow the 5-7-5 syllable format; 3) no obscenities or hate (I will delete those). That’s it.
At the end of each month I’ll gather up the haikus in the “Haiku Comments” that meet the criteria and pick one at random in a drawing, and send the winner of the drawing one of my e-books: your choice of Haiku for the Seasons I, or Haiku for the Seasons II.

black crows on white snow
yellow eyes glaring at me
they’ll get not a crumb

Arms lifted; eyes closed,
brisk winds blow across my chest;
dream the flight of birds.

Birds…..
The middle fingers
Next to the index fingers
And the ring fingers.
