kites drifting slowly
over swallows racing by
circling hawk above
My haiku is in response to the prompt for Carpe Diem #1641 – a modern kigo,
which provides the word kite as a spring kigo.

The breeze coming off the Niagara River,
a quarter-mile from my home when I lived in Western New York,
made a park along the Niagara River the perfect venue for kite festivals.
I love the layers of the sky.

When I saw the title I thought of birds…but of course the double meaning was intended, right? (K)

Perhaps subconsciously. Until I followed Jane and Sue, I hadn’t associated “kites” with birds. But then it’s the first thing that came to mind when I saw the prompt.

I like the double meaning, too. It makes me think of summer–I think because of the drifting slowly.
