fresh bounty
for tufted titmouse
squirrels watch
chickadee
pecks sunflower seed
on white branch
cardinal
in a flash of red
on the wing
hungry birds
where no snow gathers
in snowfall
This haiku sequence using a 3-5-3 form is my response to Quadrille #164: Winging It, the prompt from De Jackson (whimsigizmo) at dVerse ~ Poets Pub, which is to use a form of the word wing in a 44-word poem (excluding title), with no required meter or rhyme.
What a wonderful sequence… soon it is time to set out the bird feeder.
