birds mourn their unborn

twisters swirl

nest graveyards ‘neath fallen trees

birds mourn their unborn

    Such a sad realization dear Carolyn, and such a profoun Haiku dear poet. Reminds me of the black birds which were blown out of our tree this summer, and thank God the rangers came to rescue them and assured Noah and I that they would be cared for and released back to the wild ! TY for this uplifting write love ! much love, james

    This is especially true in our bitter cold Michigan weather. The nests don't offer enough protection and the nests- high above - are empty. Love, Dave

    the birds built a nest by my door. by spring those chicks had grown so fast. three took off without tail feathers. they flew along the ground destine for death. the nest is still there but no birds live there. john

    This is a very sad scene we find after storms pass through. I like the way you worded it with the "nest graveyards" and "mourning their unborn." I believe animals mourn just as humans do. Good luck in the contest.
