tucked against the wind
winter’s game of hide and seek
headless ducks on ice

It's so cute how they tuck their heads in to stay warm. I love the hide and seek concept. Congrats!

I had to comment and fave this haiku, John- observant and humorous, without using human emotions, as contest specifies. Its a fave! Best for contest! Warm regards,~~AquaM~~

I think the challenge an affront to the ego of the poet as poets place a bit of themselves in every poem. Thanks for stopping to read and comment

The question is usually asked: "How do you feel?" rather than "What do you feel?"....when you read that poem. Thanks for stopping in Gregory
