Tania Kitchin Poet Haiku

feathered antics

a mockingbird sings
mimicking bird melodies ~
comedic chorus

a hummingbird sips
while vibrant feathers flutter ~
a rapid refresh

a hungry bluejay
squawks and shrieks at the feeders ~
blue feathered bully

a cedar waxwing
quickly steals fresh tree berries ~
flying masked bandit

a barred owl whistles
while camouflaged in a tree ~
a prey stalking pursuit

Duke Beaufort July 24, 2024 at 4:40 PM Tania, your knowledge of birds seems remarkable. For those of us who do not have time to observe these things, your words brings this to life in our imagination. You are making me smile! Tania Kitchin July 25, 2024 at 3:15 AM Duke, thank you.

Eileen Manassian July 12, 2024 at 7:37 AM Lovely set of haiku. I loved how you you did the turn at the end of each second line. I don't know all the birds you described, but they sure sound pretty... even the naughty ones. Thanks for the visit. Tania Kitchin July 13, 2024 at 5:45 AM Eileen, thank you.

Andrea Dietrich July 3, 2024 at 10:18 AM These are all so clever, Tania. And I enjoyed your haiku contest Tania Kitchin July 3, 2024 at 1:22 PM Andrea, thank you.

Valsa George July 2, 2024 at 9:55 PM Beautiful set of haikus, Tania. Of all I love-- "a cedar waxwing/ quickly steals fresh tree berries ~ flying masked bandit/". Birds used to enchant me even as a child. Tania Kitchin July 3, 2024 at 1:23 PM Valsa, thank you.

David Crandall July 2, 2024 at 4:49 PM Nice set of haikus all put together Tania - that's quite a diverse group of bird mischief makers you describe! Tania Kitchin July 3, 2024 at 1:23 PM David, thank you.

Jan Allison June 30, 2024 at 4:31 PM what charming poems Tania i especially love the wax wing one as some years ago we had some foreign 'visitors' nibbling berries in our garden and I had to ask a friend who does bird watching what they were!:-) hugs Jan xx Tania Kitchin June 30, 2024 at 4:32 PM Jan, thank you, Waxwings are fun to watch and they remind me of little bandits. -hugs

Lin Lane June 30, 2024 at 4:23 PM All of these are wonderful, Tania. You sure identified the blue jays for their antics. Tania Kitchin June 30, 2024 at 4:31 PM Lin, thank you. I have been watching some of their antics over time and it inspired my haiku poems. -hugs
