---Bittersweet Vine

bittersweet vine
twist like pipe curls on a finger
blue birds sings

bird song arias
wake the sun-soaked cat napping
feathers fly

down laced twigs
incubate the Robin’s blue eggs
puss licks his whiskers

lofted sparrow hawk
warm basket of new born kittens
noon whistle

I think the hawk is thinking of kitten food?

Nice set of haiku. I just caught an error in my work with "Roseville Sweetheart". Somehow, I missed typing in "you" in the last line.

Well if you were a mind to use this one I would just use "Bittersweet Vine". The title is just for the sake of having one and I don't like an additional 6 or 8 syllables influencing the poem. Chas
