August Haiku

in stifling dry heat

wings flap in a cloudless sky . . .

a bird soars upward


Aug. 17, 2020 for Tania Kitchin's Haiku - Nature Themed 2 Poetry Contest
written yesterday as I walked my dog and 
noticed a lone bird above me

Sigrid Ermine Date: 8/22/2020 4:59:00 PM Strong Haiku. At first glace, doesn't push the 'girly buttons' and cliche stuff. It's one that segments itself into the brain a little while after reading. Summer harsh truth snared in few words. Huge Congratulations! Login to Reply

Hilo Poet Date: 8/22/2020 1:35:00 PM Well done, Andrea, our birds flutter in the dirt to cool themselves since they don't want to fly too high off the ground and lose sight of land--afterall, we are an island, Congrats and Aloha! William Login to Reply

Robert Pettit Date: 8/18/2020 12:05:00 AM There were plenty of clouds in the sky around my way tonight. We had some rain as a result. Nevertheless, this is a great descriptive haiku. Login to Reply
