Haiku - Seasoning

crows collecting twigs

                              peppering the neighbourhood -

                                  salt stained bird watcher

Silent One March 24, 2019 at 7:01 AM Oooh now thats unpleasant imagery... birds make my garden very salty and peppery....

Colorful END results) Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 16, 2019 at 9:50 AM ...written about them too. Birds a reoccurring theme you may have noticed.
