Birke/Birch/Abedul -Wildgänse/Wild Geese/Gansos Salvajes - Kormoran/Cormorant/Cormorán

Birke/Birch/Abedul

Im  sanften  Abendlicht
Wehen die Blätter der Birke
Goldfähnchen im Wind 



In soft evening light
The leaves of the birch flutter
Golden banners in the wind 



En suave luz de la tarde
Ondean las hojas del abedul
Banderitas de oro en el viento

------------------------------------

Wildgänse/Wild Geese/Gansos Salvajes  

Im verlierendem Licht
Der schrille Ruf der Wildgänse
Vorbote des Winters


In a fading light
The shrill calls of wild geese
An early sign of  winter


En una luz apagando
Agudos gritos de gansos salvajes
Precursor del invierno


Kormoran/Cormorant/Cormorán  

Über tanzendem Schilf
Im hohen Baum auf der Lauer
Sitzt wartend der Kormoran



Above rocking reeds
A cormorant  in his look-out  
Lurking from a high tree



Sobre el cañaveral 
En un alto árbol está al acecho 
Un cormorán está esperando

Three excellent Haikus...Birch Trees are one of my favorites...As is the Canadian Geese that come through to signal a season change...Keep the creative pen flowing...Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my write about the long dry spell and rain...Memories of childhood but also sometimes in our lives we have long dry spells where our Spirit is undernourished, ignored, and put aside then something happens and it comes alive...Sara
