Haiku

Senryu
See the eagle fly
Prisoner of its nature
Freedom an illusion

Haiku
Spring, old sparrows die
Fall exhausted down from sky
A nest too many

Dear Jan - Only you would say the eagle is a 'prisoner of its nature' and here I sit agreeing. Oh those updrafts. Flight is so exhausting. How does the hummingbird do it? Imagine the strength of his heart. You shine in these two like sun on a river. Kathy
