I wonder if an owl, my favourite bird. Great poem, makes one think and imagine, but then could be a vampire. Harry

Lovely! I was thinking lilies then was momentarily stumped before I could picture the moth :) I must try some of these - the clever title and interesting observation. I think it's out of my league though!

Thanks Dilly. Glad you worked it out. I find haiku a bit like cryptic crossword clues at times, especially as titles are frowned on. Many thanks for your comment.
