Your haiku are always close enough to savor, distant enough to remember . . .

I hear owls here…
no hare, just bunnies.
And the hawk tend to feast upon them…
Nature has her needs.
Lovely pairing, your words and the art by Koson.

Thank you, Jules. I see more squirrels and chipmunks than I do rabbits in my yard. AND the damn moles that I don’t see, but sure make their presence known!

Moles and gophers, muskrat and mink too…
Guess that’s natural for living by water.
