Anne-Lise, The crumbling stardust hints at something big going on. In a way, our environmental destruction places all us birds in tomb's cage. As go the birds, go we all. It's a haunting poem indeed, and hopefully it will motivate us to live in harmony with rather than exploit our surroundings!

I feel no bird should be caged. They were meant to fly free. Love the art with your haiku. Have a wonderful day. Happy Valentines my friend. love phyl

A well written haiku as always and true the caged nightingale does not maybe sing from their heart and soul. This really is soul touching! I felt this one! Pleasure reading you today!

Very nice and meaningful words in expressing the deep pensiveness.

A pretty haiku, but with a somber note. A good write.

Dear Anne-Lise, this haiku is wonderful so much sorrow and truth blended into so few words. It lingers, heavy yet ethereal, like a silent echo of something lost. A masterpiece in its brevity. Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
