Haiku

Ive been having a play with haiku over the last couple of weeks (during a bout of man flu!) and I thought I'd throw a couple of my efforts out here for your perusal. For those unfamiliar with the format it's a non-rhyming 3-line poem with five, seven, five syllables. I love the challenge of creating a broad picture on such a narrow canvas.

desperate to breed

restart the cycle of life

urgency of spring

_______________

sun breaks horizon

grebe peers through mist on water

images of dawn

swept plume bandit mask

harvesting natures bounty

waxwing irruption

hungry chick pleading

unsuspecting pigeon struck

peregrine provides
