A Haiku Response To Fandango’s One-Word Challenge

Today’s prompt is “elevate”. I’ve been thinking about birds today, so here is my contribution.


still beneath the clouds
birds dancing upon the wind
elevate spirits

juncos feeding in the rain
what do they ponder? 

Winter Berries

Elderberries

winter bares food, too
and the birds know where to seek
so life continues

Found these berries on a recent walk. Summer, of course, bursts with live giving foods for all. Winter, it seems, is more stealthy. But food is present!

#NaPoWriMo2020 for Thursday, April 16: 

sunlight through this glass

floating across the pages

a crow laughing

This Friday morning: a haiku

​And now dawn has come

Sleep kept this hidden from me

Until the birds called

An Early Morning Haiku

Yes, I am awake

And the birds sing with vigor

Dawn has not yet come

I’m amazed at the number of birds singing right now. Well, I think one of the loudest sounds is an insect, but I digress.  It’s quite boisterous. Oddly, as daylight comes their sounds will quiet. Perhaps just supplanted by human noise. Perhaps. 

This Spring Morning 

This early morning
Birdsong dances in the air
Dawn climbing the trees
