Lunch On the Run

                                                        Dragonfly hovers
                                           Blackbird swoop down stealthily__
                                                  Death on SUMMER day

wow! Happy blackbird got a nice meal, Sara. Enjoyed reading your Haiku! We got lots of blackbirds here and they won't flay away-they#re too lazy and prefer to walk away if one comes too close. If you like Jazz than you shoud check on youtube for "The Modern Jazz Quartet" it's worthwhile listening...Thanks for your comments and have a nice Sunday...Gert

What a witty title for this haiku gem, Sara. Guess the blackbird takes advantage of his "lunch on the run." Enjoyed! Wishing you success in the contest. Love, Carolyn
