The prompt for Carpe Diem
– Exploring the Beauty of Haiku
is to write a haiku using the apokoinou
technique of writing – the second line acts
as an extension for the first line
and as a beginning for the third line.

Enjoyed your Haiku. Squirrels really do enjoy birdfeeders and don’t easily give up. I polished my feeder with olive oil and it was funny when he just slid down. Did he give up. No, up in a tree near and threw himself at the feeder.
Down he slid ……until he found a trick.

Squirrels are aggravating but they do symbolize persistence all right.
