Thanks again Charlie. I watched this play out. Mama and Daddy bird won out and the cat went on its way.

This is a great haiku! It doesn't sound chunky and awkward trying to force the right amount of syllables in each line. And it perfectly juxtaposes the safety of the nest/mother, and the danger of the predator. Great job!

Thank you Andrew. I am not formally trained in literature but I have been paying attention to the comments and blogs about Haiku in order to learn to write them better. You comment is good reinforcement. Thank you, Dean
